To take this course, you'll need:

• A computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux) with Internet access
• Any modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, or Safari)
• The latest self-hosted version of WordPress (NOT wordpress.com) installed on your own webhost
• A desire to learn!

IMPORTANT: This course assumes that you already have WordPress installed on your own web hosting* plan. Most web hosting providers offer simple one-click installations for WordPress. Some may even do it for you. Ask your web hosting provider for more information!
