Introduction to Wordpress

When: Sunday, 25/07/2010, 2-4.30pm

Where: MadLab, Manchester\'s Hackspace in the Norther Quarter www.madlab.org.uk

(36 Edge Street)

Who:Girl Geeks, bring along anyone you like! Your friends, sisters,

mums, cousins, daughters, colleagues... who might be interested in

doing some techy stuff... Even boys can come if you want to bring them

as your date!

But more importantly, What:

Jordan Hatch (http://jordanh.net / @1jh) will help us venture into the

world of Wordpress, a very popular content management system that is

used as the basis for many websites and blogs! You will learn how to

install and set up Wordpress from scratch on a web server, which gives

you much more freedom than the blogs offered on wordpress.com.

Please note: Level of experience required: Basic HTML and CSS skills,

experience with using

web interfaces and perhaps Wordpress as an author / editor would be

helpful. Having heard the words MYSQL database and FTP before would

help, but absolutely no worries if not - we\'re doing step-by-step

instructions. As always, the workshop will be very basic and there

will be some volunteers to help out when you\'re stuck!

If in doubt: come along and see what it\'s like, we\'re here to help you

explore things. And if all else fails, there\'s always tea and

biscuits :)

Bring along...?

•Your laptop (with working WiFi) to get involved with the hands-on

parts of the Wordpress workshop.

•Your favourite mug

•Your favourite biscuits, cupcakes, tea, coffee (we\'ll have the

basics, but in case you fancy something slightly more

interesting... :)

•Your friends, sisters, mums, cousins, daughters, colleagues... who

might be interested in doing some techy stuff.

Many thanks again to Madlab for letting us use their space & giant

teapot! Check www.madlab.org.uk for more information & directions.
