Event Overview

If you're a small business owner, blogger, or budding entrepreneur looking to get your brand or business off the ground, there are websites upon websites that can teach you how to start a WordPress blog.

The problem is, those websites require a great deal of tech-heavy reading, and not a whole lot of interaction or real time help. That's why we're excited about this WordPress Workshop, which will teach you offline how to get your site up and running online. A real person to talk to! A face to answer your questions! Fellow business owners around to make you feel a little less like a leper for being behind the tech curve! Hallelujah.

This Dabble workshop is a very thorough rundown of the fundamentals of WordPress. We'll start by distinguishing between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, help you decide which platform is best for your business, and get a little lesson on web hosting. Then we'll leave no corner of WordPress unexplored, covering everything from:

- WordPress strengths and limitations
- Setting up your blog or website
- How to publish content
- Enhancing your blog with themes
- Understanding themes and templates
- Maneuvering the WordPress Admin Panel
- Adding images, audio & video
- Creating pages
- Finding plugins and
- Tags, headings & terms.

Whew! We'll finish our WordPress intensive with a lesson on drawing traffic to your blog. Begin to understand the power of Social Media marketing, optimizing your site for SEO and using the analytic tools to see who's coming to your page and for what content.

Come clueless, and leave competent. And please remember, Dabble is not responsible for any looks of jealousy that may come your way when your friends and colleagues discover the overnight WordPress wizard you have become ;).
