3 tips for preparing to train clients and users for using WordPress

A few weeks ago I received a text from a friend. We were college classmates about 30 years ago or so. He is the pastor at a nearby church. The website for his church was built on WordPress by someone who was previously at the church, and now, they needed some help. The website had some issues that I noticed pretty quickly, but they were interested in some training to use the website. I said I would help, and to be honest, I was a little stressed.
