78 books9 followersThere is more than one author with this name
Dr. Andy Williams
After graduating from Hull University (North Humberside, UK), I went on to do a Ph.D. at Cardiff University where I studied endocrinology in fish. After working as a research associate at Cardiff University I decided I wanted to be a teacher, so went back to University (this time Birmingham) to study for a teaching certificate.
My first teaching job took me to Tenerife, Spain where I met my wife to be. After a spell of teaching in Madrid, we went back to Tenerife. Two kids later, we now live in North Wales.
On a day to day basis, I write "How To" books and courses related to websites, SEO and other topics of interest to anyone running a website.

Good Review
As a Wordpress expert I like to recommend books to my staff and developers/designers. This is a pretty thorough book that covers most everything you need to familiarize yourself with the platform.

Good introduction
This guide has lots of information. Some of it is basic, but some requires more computer literacy than the reader has. The author prefers websites made up of posts instead of pages, so doesn't explain using pages as well.
