# Know WordPress

 **![WordPress Logo](http://glamanate.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/wordpress-logo-notext-rgb-150x150.png)Know WordPress** and know your site. This is an online guide, or even book, on how to use your WordPress site and master its features. These guides are a blend of information found over at the [WordPress Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page "WordPress Codex") and personal experiences from working with clients. This is a work in progress, as I develop these guides I will build chapters to group things together in a more organized way. Thoughts and suggestions are always appreciated, [don't be afraid to contact me.](http://glamanate.com/contact/ "Contact")
