WordPress 101 Plug-ins Class

Wordpress plug-in classLearn About WordPress ™Plug-ins Here!

A WordPress™ plug-in is a piece of software written to extend or enhance the capabilities of WordPress™. There are some must have plug-ins and other that just simply make your life easier. Some of these plug-ins are noticeable from just looking at your site after implementing but others are great little tools that work on the back-end of WordPress™ but make it run smooth and can even help take the load off your server.

This class is designed for the WordPress™ user who wants to make the most of their WordPress™ installation.  When I started working with WordPress™ a little over two years ago I was a total novice.  I’m not a programmer nor a developer.  However, I found that WordPress™ suited my needs and have since built over 35 sites. My constant in all of these installations  are plug-ins. Each time i build a site I seem to find more I want to try.  There are over 9, 682 plug-ins listed as of today on the WordPress site. And there are many more that can be found elsewhere.  How do you identify the right plug-in?  Well, that’s part of the class that I’m going to be teaching. I’m really looking forward to this.

WordPress™, when properly used with plug-ins and social media,, is the most powerful platform on the market today.

What this training is not:

  • No programming tweaks will be shown…class is designed for the non-programmer however everyone can use plug-in information
  • A class about basic computer skills.  Knowing your way around a computer should be fundamental before taking this step
  • Installing WordPress™

What will be available at the venue:

  • Free Wifi

  • Water (we will not be providing food  as part of our fee but orders can (and should be) placed from the menu with individual tickets just as we do at our Monday night meeting. This helps keep the cost of the room down)
