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.

    Christine, I am a web designer but I would to learn how to set up web sites with shopping carts and other more complex functionalities. Does Word Press accommodate shopping carts?

    I would also like to learn to use Word Press to set up more complex sites such as this one: http://figureskatersonline.com/news/

    Does it sound like your class would be beneficial for me or is it more targeted for those who are not familiar with web design at all?

    I'd love to attend, but sadly, I have a conflict. I currently have a WordPress website with a shopping cart and blog. I want to learn about the potential of WordPress, please, would you offer this workshop again?

    Debbie

    Wordpress will accommodate shopping carts and a multitude of other plugins. This workshop is an introduction and overview of Wordpress but does cover all of the main features. If you haven't done anything with Wordpress yet, this workshop will be of tremendous benefit. And there are a lot of hints and tips for the more experienced Wordpress user too.
