Event description

WordPress and other OpenSource technologies are giving non technical and technical people alike incredible tools to communicate and interact with the rest of the world as never before. And if people tell you that WordPress is just for blogging, think again! This workshop will demystify WordPress and empower you!

Until recently, creating an online experience was left to the web development community and programmers who indulge in the world of HTML, DHTML, PHP, JSCRIPT, PERL, and other such web speak terms. But now with the new releases of WordPress, Ning and PHPBB, the online world is a different place.

With a WordPress website and Blog, anyone can create a fantastic 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.

In this workshop I will explain the power of WordPress and the ease by which you can create your online presence. I will discuss website themes, posting in real time, adding pictures and videos, interacting with your site visitors, linking with other technologies and much more.

    Due to a problem at the Mosiac Coffee Shop (they have closed for the week due to some chemical spraying), we have moved this event to the

    Fremont Library 731 N. 35th St. Seattle, Washington 98103

    There is extra capacity at the library so we have been able to increase the number of attendees.

    That should be ok as the room will be big enough but they should really be Biznik members. They can of course join for free.

    I did not find you all, arriving late to the Fremont Library, where it seems the library was closed at 12:45.

    PERHAPS you WERE there, in the basement, with all the window shades drawn (just came to my mind) - shucks, and whoops, and apologies if I missed it!

    I had presumed it was canceled, as the library was closed.
