Introduction to WordPress – Anne Katzeff
May 23, 2018 @ 2:30 pm - 4:30 pm
$35
BAA member, Anne Katzeff, is teaching this class, hosted by Girls Develop IT Boston
If you’re wondering what the heck WordPress is and whether or not it’s the platform for you, come to this hands-on class and find out! We’ll provide an overview of WordPress, one of the most popular web applications for content management and blogging available today. It is a powerful and flexible way to build a website.
In this one night, 2 hour class, we will compare WordPress.org with WordPress.com and discover the key attributes of shared and managed hosting plans. We’ll learn about installing and configuring basic settings in WordPress, choosing and installing a theme, adding new pages and posts, creating nav menus, working with widgets, installing plugins, creating child themes, and customizing themes. Gather your questions and bring them to class!
For this introductory-level class, you’ll need:
• a laptop with a web browser (*Chrome preferred, but see note below about Safari.)
• a sense of humor 😉
• a live WordPress.org site or WordPress.com account
OR
• a local WordPress installation with one of the following programs:
Desktop Server Limited (free) or Premium ($) installed on your laptop – https://serverpress.com/get-desktopserver/

OR
