Curriculum:

Installing and Using WordPress

To get the most out of the workshop you will need:

– A domain name registered and a webhosting account, and the usernames/passwords for your account. (Contact me if you need help setting up these things before the workshop). If you don’t already have a domain and hosting, I recommend signing up with Bluehost.com

If you use GoDaddy hosting, we’ll need to install WordPress about 2 days before the event (because they have long processing times) so please contact me if GoDaddy is your host.

The workshop will cover:

• How to install WordPress on your server
• Explanation of WordPress settings and options

• How to create content
• posts vs. pages
• categories, tags
• using images & media
• best practices for Search Engine Optimization

• Themes

• Plugins
• what are plugins?
• how to use and install plugins
• key plugins you’ll need

• Widgets

After this workshop you will be able to manage your site with confidence!
