Secondly, my biggest lynda.com course to date titled WordPress: Building Themes from Scratch Using Underscores was released, and with it lynda.com subscribers can now learn how to build their own WordPress themes to be standards-based, accessible, responsive, and content-centric.
For the course I decided to use _s (Underscores) as the baseline. Building a WordPress theme from scratch from scratch makes no sense and _s is in my opinion the best starter theme available and the one all developers should be using. Considering its popularity there is scarcely any expansive documentation on how to use _s to build WordPress themes so I built the course as a deep-dive into the _s theme as well as the process of building themes from scratch. Whether you are an aspiring developer or a seasoned pro with experience with _s I am certain you will find a wealth of useful information in the course that will help you utilize the theme in a more effective way and build better, more responsive, and more accessible themes in the process.
Starting with a clean slate I made a series of decisions: The theme should meet accessibility guidelines, the content should be in the center of the screen whenever possible, featured images should be responsive, the user should be able to add a social media menu using the standard menu manager, and the grid should be broken to utilize the space available on larger screens.
Simone was built to be used, shared, changed, and evolved. To that end you can get the theme either by building it yourself while following the WordPress: Building Themes from Scratch Using Underscores course at lynda.com, by downloading it directly from the WordPress Themes Directory, or by downloading, forking, or contributing to it on GitHub.
If you have any additions, features, or alterations you want to add or want me to add to Simone you can either submit an issue, a feature request, or a pull request on GitHub. The theme is in constant evolution and development and I will evolve it in accordance with what you the user wants. Speak up and ye shall be heard!
Hot on the heels of the Start with a Theme: Twenty Fourteen course comes the release of the second course I recorded over the Christmas holiday: The full update of WordPress Essential Training for version 3.8.
My first ever course with lynda.com was WordPress Essential Training back in 2010, and this new edition is the third remake of the course. The new course highlights new features in WordPress 3.8 and provides an updated approach to learning and mastering WordPress. If you want to learn how to use WordPress to its fullest, WordPress Essential Training is the place to start.
Get the most out of the new Twenty Fourteen magazine-style theme that ships with WordPress 3.8 with my new lynda.com course Start with a Theme: Twenty Fourteen. This new theme has a lot to offer if you know how to use it properly, and in the course I take you through all the features, functions, and weird side effects of using this theme.
How can we communicate clearly through design and development? That is the question I attempt to answer in my latest release from lynda.com titled Foundations of UX: Logic and Content. The course looks at communication, web design, and User Experience through the prism of philosophy to find out how we communicate and also how we can use logic and common sense to create meaningful user experiences and ensure that the message we try to communicate is received as intended.
Foundations of UX: Logic and Content looks at how designers, developers, and content creators can use the ancient art of logic and reasoning to improve user experiences and facilitate communication. Morten Rand-Hendriksen looks at the principles of logic, how computer logic and human logic differ, and how these differences can be used to improve communication.
Hot off the presses my latest lynda.com course Start with a Theme: Twenty Thirteen walks you through all the features of the new default WordPress theme released earlier this summer. Twenty Thirteen is blog-centric and focusses heavily on Post Formats. This short course shows you how to use the theme to its fullest and how to get the most out of the advanced Post Formats. If you are a blogger looking for a new look for your site, Twenty Thirteen may well be the way to go. Check out Start with a Theme: Twenty Thirteen on lynda.com and see if the new default theme works for you.
SEO is a much talked about and often misunderstood topic for web designers, developers, and bloggers alike. In my new course WordPress Plugins: SEO I demonstrate how you can use two popular WordPress SEO plugins, All In One SEO Pack and WordPress SEO by Yoast, to boost SEO and social sharing on your WordPress site without turning to alchemy.
Blogging for Your Business is a course focussed on planning and strategy. This was done because it is usually the planning and strategy part of the process that is left out when a new business blog is built. The course takes you through the planning process of creating a blog as part of your business marketing strategy. In it I provide a structured approach that divides the planning process into discrete stages, each with its own tasks and decisions. Through the course you are presented with key decisions, best practices, and expert advice that make you better informed and more equipped to build a blog that helps boost your business and its presence online. The course also shows how to set goals, delegate responsibilities, find a content niche, recruit contributors, and how to make technology decisions.
While WooCommerce is a full fledged ecommerce platform for WordPress, Easy Digital Downloads (or EDD for short) is built to sell digital products and services only. This means a drastically simplified user interface, no shipping options, and easier tax handling. If you want to sell digital products online Easy Digital Downloads is a great place to start.

An LMS, or learning management system, combines a wide range of features to present a class setting without having the students come into a physical classroom. It all depends on the WordPress LMS plugin you go with, but in general, the tools allow you to create classes, share coursework, enroll students, and evaluate the students with quizzes.
We like WordPress LMS plugins for schools and universities, along with for-profit organizations that want to teach customers how to complete a task or gain further knowledge on a topic. For instance, WP101 is a popular online classroom for teaching folks the basics of WordPress. Lynda.com and Udemy are known for their wide range of topics, while you can also find websites dedicated to just one or two topics.
Feel free to click on those links and learn a little about each one. However, we highly recommend reading further to explore the uses for each WordPress LMS plugin and what features stand out the most.
Tutor LMS is one of the most popular additions to the world of WordPress LMS plugins. In a very short time, they have amassed an army of 50,000+ eLearning enthusiasts. It comes packed with unique features like the frontend course builder, drag-and-drop course creator, certificate builder, and continuous development support from the parent company, Themeum.
The core plugin is free, while the premium plan starts at $149 for a single-site license. With it, you get access to multiple premium addons like Certificates, Course Previews, Multi-Instructor, Frontend Course Builder, Content Drip, and more. You can also use integrations with Google Classroom for robust communication, Zoom for live video classes, and Elementor for a fully customized course-building experience.
Tutor LMS also boasts a secure platform with top security and coding practices. It has a growing list of integrations with ecommerce plugins, page builder plugins, as well as other popular ones like GamiPress, BuddyPress, and so on.
LearnDash is used by many Fortune 500 companies and major universities because of its overall speed, feature set, and impressive online course design. the majority of the must-have features we talked about previously in this article are covered by LearnDash, so I would consider this as a full suite with tools for content dripping, selling courses, rewarding learners, and activating triggers based on actions.
