WordPress: Zero to Hero March 25, 2010

Join Nick La, creator of the popular blog Web Designer Wall, owner of N.Design Studio, IconDock, and Best Web Gallery for a one-day immersion into WordPress, the world's most popular publishing platform.

If you want to learn how to create your own WordPress themes, understand how to use template tags and conditional tags to format and display the data you want, or how to use WordPress as a content management system, Nick will take you from WordPress Zero to Hero in 7 hours flat.

This workshop is for people who have a WordPress blog (or are in the process of creating one) and would like to create their own theme and templates for personal or professional use. This workshop is also for web designers who wish to offer a value-added service to their clients. PHP skills are not required to attend this workshop.

A full workshop schedule and topical breakdown will be available shortly.

Industrial strength WiFi and power will be available to guests, and breakfast will be served at 8:30am. There will also be coffee breaks scheduled throughout the day.

Attendees are encouraged to have:

- A laptop that supports local server such as MAMP (OSX), WAMP, LAMP, or XAMPP
- An HTML/CSS editor such as Adobe Dreamweaver
- An understanding of HTML and CSS

Bonus: anyone who signs up for the workshop will get a $45 discount code from InMotion Hosting. You may use the coupon code in any business class shared hosting, VPS and dedicated server packages.
