Tickets Now Available For This Workshop!

If you are new to WordPress, then you want to make sure you attend our beginner’s workshop! Our workshop is happening on March 15th at FIU (same as our weekend venue). Our workshops worked out last year very well and sold out rather quickly. We limit our workshops to about 100 attendees, so make sure you grab your ticket (follow us on Slack or on Twitter for ticket announcements).

Registration will start at 8am, and a full day’s schedule is planned (9am to 4:30pm). Lunch will be provided, so just bring yourself (a laptop or tablet is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, or something to take notes with) and get ready for a full day of getting up to speed with WordPress. After this workshop you can grab a weekend ticket and be be ready for WordCamp Miami weekend (March 15th and March 16th).

Schedule

Here’s what we cover in our beginner workshop (note that this schedule might be adjusted, and if so we’ll alert all ticket holders).

1. Decisions / Education (Selecting a domain, what hosting provider might be the best for you, comparing WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org, etc.)

2. Installation and Setup (Guiding through how to install WordPress and giving a tour of the general WordPress admin)

3. Getting Started with WordPress (Showcasing every day things that you do in WordPress such as creating and editing posts, pages, categories, tags, etc. Also we go into items like comment moderation)

4. WordPress Themes (Discussion about trusted sources of getting WordPress themes, best practices, widgets, menus, header images, background images, and more)

5. Trouble Shooting (Knowledge share on common WordPress problems, troubleshooting, customizing, importing/exporting, and more)

6. Plugins (Best practices for plugins, “must-have” plugins, and how to use WordPress beyond a blogging platform)

Our beginner workshops usually sellout, so if you want to learn more about using WordPress or want to review the basic concepts before the WordCamp Miami weekend, then check back soon to get your ticket.
