Princeton has a site license to the video training library, lynda.com
You can use this site for free by going to the lynda.com page, and putting in “princeton.edu” at the web portal option, or going directly to lynda.princeton.edu
Both methods of navigation will take you to a CAS login screen, where you can enter your Princeton netid and password.
Note that you can search the lynda courses and find the thing you’re looking for — you don’t have to sit though hours of the course to get value from their excellent WordPress training. If you select HTML5 or QuickTime custom as a play method under your site preferences, you can even listen to the videos at double-time.
If you get stuck with anything, for example resizing images or using WordPress, the NMC is open most afternoons and evenings during Reading Period. Check their site for the hours during Reading Period. The NMC is in the Lewis Science Library, room 130. After business hours, use the side door.
