Confused...where is the demo content for Portfolio Website?

I see Project Files, etc. to the right of the video area but not sure what to do with it. Any ideas out there?

I've never downloaded the files but have a look for a database file that you can then import to WordPress to populate.

Otherwise, grab some lorem ipsum and some images and practive entering content yourself.

What I did when building the sites that we build here is build my own themed site but using the lessons that were been taught as I went.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your response! Yeah, I wasn't sure if I just needed to do my own content or how to upload files they provided.

On a slightly different issue but still about navigating around Treehouse -- I was confused once I finished the WP Content unit, perhaps because I've started with the WP Project rather than the WP Track. It appears that these 'units' are parts from the WP Track. Maybe I would do better to go back to the Wordpress Track and move through that way, skipping the beginner stuff?

I got a bit lost along the way once I finished the WP Content part of this Project, expecting us to finish out this Portfolio example.

Any guidance you can provide as a veteran here would be most appreciated!
