This workshop is created for Novice WordPress Users (beginning-beginners). We mean people who have heard about WordPress, yet have never gotten started. Or those of you who tried to get started, yet quickly became overwhelmed.
From the start of the day to the end, you will be guided through the process of publishing and editing content on a WordPress website.
We won’t have time for an in-depth look at every single function available within WordPress. Nor will we be able to help you develop or modify WordPress themes. Our aim is to give you an overall understanding of how to use the various features within the WordPress and plenty of hands-on practice.
