We want to thank everyone who attended the WordPress Beginner’s Course in Davie, FL today. Hopefully you’ve grabbed your ticket to WordCamp Miami so we’ll see you there.
If you wanted to take a look at Steve Alig’s slides on plugins, click here.
Back in the day, WordPress.com blogs had lots of nifty features that were only available to self-hosted sites through a complicated system of pulleys and levers. Tricking out your self-hosted site with all the features of WordPress.com meant installing and maintaining dozens of individual plugins.
Jetpack is a single plugin that gives you the most powerful WordPress.com features, hooking your self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com’s infrastructure to take advantage of robust stats, easy social sharing, and a whole lot more.
Jetpack can supercharge your self-hosted site with a suite of the most powerful WordPress.com features.
Our speakers are so excited they are talking BEFORE they speak at WordCamp Miami.

Note: Updated Information!
This is a full day class is especially tuned for those new to WordPress. Topics covered include everything from hosting, making your first post, finding themes, and basic installing of plugins. If you already know how to use WordPress to publish, chances are this workshop is NOT for you. This course is targeted for those who have barely or never used WordPress before. However, we will be covering some slightly more advanced topics (time permitting) and answering any questions we can from those attending.
Tickets are still available for this course. Click here to get one.

Click here for a map to the venue.
Our event officially starts at 10:30am, however because NSU is hosting the March of Dimes walk (something that was arranged after we booked the venue sadly) we wanted to provide potentially better alternate directions for those planning on coming around 10am which is the time we will try and open to register.

“My name is Enrique Canals and I’m from Miami, FL. I’m passionate about software development, open source and robots. For a living I write software, manage projects, and help build companies. I’ve worked with a fairly wide range of companies, including start-ups like Pebble, Spark, Tessel, and Sphero. With regard to software, specifically front-end development, I’m keen on well structured markup and styles. Keeping HTML and CSS organized is critical to the maintainability of any project and makes developing usable and functional interfaces much more efficient. Besides technology, I enjoy good coffee, wake boarding, and yoga. In my spare time I try to contribute to open source projects and currently maintain the default SCSS syntax highlighting bundle for TextMate with support for Atom and Sublime.”
