Introduction

My goal is building this website was to lay a foundation and a framework, upon which the youth could direct and build to their heart's desire.  I feel like the site is finally at an appropriate place to make that transition.  I've posted the code for the site and instructions on how to guide yourself through learning how to modify, change, and extend PUN to make this into whatever you want it to be.  If you want to more introductory videos about building websites, you can check out the tutorials on my website titled, "How to Build a Website."

Did I Forget Anything

I walk step-by-step through the WordPress dashboard to discuss each item in the menu and see if there was anything that I missed explaining in the first set of videos.  Next, we'll go beyond WordPress!

Part 7:
PUN Chat

In this video, I walk you through deploying your own clone of the PUN Chat application.  This doesn't use WordPress, it runs on MeteorJS.  You'll learn how to deploy your own and integrate it into WordPress.
