A Beginner’s Guide to WordPress
Presented by Kathryn Presner & Shannon Smith • User Track• WordCamp Montreal 2012
This introductory session is geared for bloggers, web designers and programmers who are new to WordPress. Even those who don’t know a Codex from a Cadillac will feel comfortable here. Delving into WordPress from a beginner’s point of view, we use unintimidating plain language to explain the fundamental concepts of WordPress, from themes, to widgets, to plug-ins. We go spelunking in the admin panel and show real-world examples of what WordPress can do. Questions are welcome, and no query is too basic, so don’t be shy!
For beginners to WordPress, no knowledge of HTML required.
