Question What are you learning right now?
Just curious what everyone is learning and if you are self-teaching or if you are taking a course through a particular program? Feel free to share the details!

Right now I am learning how to add security to self-hosted Wordpress site. I finally figured out how to install Wordpress on my own computer to work with it before I develop my own blog on my website. Self-teaching via Google, VAF, etc...

I am learning Spanish at the moment. Not for work purposes so much, although I do want to use it for networking purposes in my area here in Spain. I work with a Spanish teacher who is located in The Netherlands.

I set aside at least 30 minutes every day to learn about blogging. A professional blogger, Mike Cliffe-Jones, helps me with this by sending me lessons every day. I'm not much of a blogger right now, but I want to see if I can improve on it. It might mean a professional writing course further down the line.

Very curious to see what others are learning, as it is an indication of where our industry is going.

Oh, there is so much I want to learn!

However, right now I am working on my Bachelor of Management degree and so with 2 courses at a time that is enough, for now.

Perhaps in the new yeasr I may look at something more specialized. I just finished my Petroleum Land Administration Certification this past April and I really hope that will aid me in bringing on some oil & gas clientelle.

Right now, I'm learning expert wordpress and CSS coding. I've been playing with my website (below), and there is more I want to do with it, so I have been hanging out at Lynda.com watching some of the video classes.

I've been using Lynda.com as well. The videos are really clear and I can watch them on my phone!

I'm going to start on the CS5 videos as I've recently upgraded our software and want to find out what's changed.

There is so much I am learning right now through self-teaching. Learning about setting up a web page, domain names, web hosting... Will definately be taking a class on this to gain more knowledge and a better understanding. I have so much to learn about being an entrepreneur!
