Event description

WordPress is a Personal Web Publishing phenomenon. There's nothing quite like it out there. It has power, ease of use, extensibility and longevity. You can do anything with WordPress... if you know how!!! WordPress is an Open Source (Free) system that works entirely online (in the cloud). It is non O/S specific so you can use it equally well from Windows, Mac and Linux. And it is only scratching the surface of Open Source / Cloud Computing.

Welcome to the World of WordPress!

This workshop goes into the design and implementation of a WordPress website. It reveals how to utilize the hundreds of products and plugins that are freely available. It explains Widgets, Posts and Pages. It reveals how WordPress makes upgrading or finding a theme, a user's dream.

Websites developed in WordPress include:

Content Management System
Unlimited Expansion Capability
Updatable and Maintainable by You
Highly Search Engine Optimized
Full Blogging Capability

With a WordPress website and Blog, anyone can develop an amazing online experience without having to spend thousands of dollars on web consultants and developers. Now with a little education and support, even the computer novice can get online and get noticed.

We will also discuss Open Source software and Cloud Computing. Can you run an entire business on Open Source (Free) Software. The answer? An EMPHATIC YES!!!
