Title: Lessons: Let’s Get Started Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Lessons: Let’s Get Started * [Lorelle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorelle/) * (@lorelle) * [21 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lessons-lets-get-started/) * While the Codex is down, why not take advantage of the time to help teach a few things you know about how this all works. All I ask is that you start the title with the word _Lesson:_ so we know it isn’t a question as much as a lesson. I’ll list a couple to get started. * If you have the knowledge, give us a little tidbit and maybe some resources to learn more and then check in for some questions that will come up. Keep it simple and short. And enjoy.
