A website can serve several purposes. For me, it is my portfolio of my articles and writings. For you, it may be a selling tool, information vehicle, etc.
This workshop is limited to 8 participants. Students will be required to bring their own WiFi capable notebook computer and using WordPress, create their own individual basic website. While students may use the free WordPress.com blog site, this course will focus on students who are using the WordPress software on their own site.
The course includes a copy of my Learning WordPress Workbook. This workbook will walk you through the steps of creating the site, as well as designing your site based on your goal. Your workbook serves as a reference and as your worksheet for your site design and implementation.
