Hands-on Beginners WordPress Workshop

WordPress Workshop

WordPress Workshop

WordPress is a state-of-the-art web publishing platform, developed by hundreds of community volunteers and used by over 25 million people. Best of all, WordPress is free! With thousands of themes and plug-ins available on the web, anyone can launch a feature-rich website in minutes. In this Hands-on Beginners WordPress Workshop you will be building and launching a self-hosted wordpress.org website.

First, you will learn the fundamentals of how WordPress works, how to get it up and running, and how to start publishing content immediately. Then we will explore the Administrator’s Dashboard, including how to organize your content and configure certain features & behaviors of your site. Finally, you will learn how to install themes and plug-ins to alter the appearance of your site and add additional functionality for improved social integration, search engine optimization, and backup/security. (Note: We will be working with the self-hosted version of WordPress at http://wordpress.org, not the hosted service at http://wordpress.com.

Beginners WordPress Workshop Features:

  • Fundamentals of WordPress
  • Post vs Pages
  • Administrator’s Dashboard Organization
  • Configure Features and Behaviors
  • Content Organization
  • Installing Themes
  • Installing Plugins

We highly recommend completion of The Toolbox Developing Your Website Plan Workshop before this workshop so you’ll have everything you need to build your site during the workshop.
