I’ve created a two-page guide to connecting to a server using FTP, plus an explanation of what FTP is and how it’s useful to us. You can download that here.

If you are using Wordpress for your portfolio, you will also find this one-page cheat sheet helpful to get started. If you get through that and still have questions, I encourage you to check http://codex.wordpress.org/, which is Wordpress’s official documentation website. It’s very user-friendly and extremely thorough. You can of course mail me (Marcus) through the contact form on this site, but the chances are I’ll just have to look at the Wordpress site myself (hmm, something about giving a man a fish or teaching him how to fish comes to mind).

Smartest documentation/instructions to follow.
