Session Description: Already built your first WordPress site? Now it’s time to make it yours. In this hands-on follow-up to WordPress 101, you’ll take the site you already created and start customizing, extending, and improving it with the tools WordPress gives you.
We’ll work through the kinds of things most people want to do once the basics are in place: installing and managing plugins, changing colors and other design settings, adding new functionality, and learning where to look when you want your site to do something it doesn’t do yet.
What you’ll learn
- How to find, evaluate, install, and manage WordPress plugins
- How to customize colors, styles, and other site appearance settings
- How to add useful functionality without rebuilding your site
- How to make smart choices about themes, plugins, and customization
- Where to look when you’re ready to do more with WordPress
Who it’s for
Anyone who has completed WordPress 101 or already understands the basics of creating pages, posts, menus, and navigating the WordPress dashboard. You don’t need to be a developer, and no coding experience is required.
Bring your laptop and the WordPress site you want to work on. You’ll leave with a more polished, more capable site and a better understanding of how to keep building on your own.
