The session — an introductory beginners class — covers the basics of using WordPress to create blogs and other websites for personal and business projects. This year, I’ll lead a demonstration in WordPress.com and note along the way the similarities to working in WordPress.org to create a site, activate a theme, do basic customization, then publish pages and posts.

The slide set (PDF) of this year’s presentation may be of interest.

The press release for #wcfay 2018 gives details of the overall weekend, held at the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development at the University of Arkansas.  The above was conducted 9-10 a.m. Saturday, June 23.

Newcomers to WordPress are told how big it is, but seeing a list of Notable WordPress Users is eye-opening.
