You made it!! Justin and I want to give you a warm welcome to the ‘SiteGrinder Mastery’ community! If you’re stuck and frustrated with SiteGrinder, this is definitely the place for you. Justin and I have a combined 4-yrs of experience with the software. I personally started using it when version 2 came out, and Justin when version 3 was introduced. Justin is MUCH more proficient with the latest version so he has created the majority of the video training, pre-hinted templates, and hinted element packs. I’ve also been using WordPress for a number of years and have figured out somewhat of a “back door” approach to integrating SiteGrinder into WordPress, so I will be teaching on that topic in what I’ve titled “SiteGrinder to WordPress” (available 3/12). We’re constantly adding material to the member’s area so if you have any thoughts or suggestions about how we can make improvements, please contact us HERE.
