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
  • how to choose a theme
  • resources for finding themes
  • considerations, what to look for in a theme
  • Plugins
  • what are plugins?
  • how to use and install plugins
  • key plugins you'll need
  • Widgets
  • Setting up RSS subscription options for your site
  • Setting up Google Analytics to track web traffic
  • Integrating your blog with your social media channels 

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