Getting Started with WordPress for Beginners

This 35-minute session is geared toward beginners who are in the early stages of setting up their WordPress-powered site. The session talks about how I have used WordPress to start my own news startup EasternIowaNews.com and used WordPress at United Way of East Central Iowa, a site that has won a national Content Management Association Spotlight Award in the WordPress category in 2012/13. The session will walk attendees through:

  • Defining goals and objectives for your sites
  • Finding and setting up your URL
  • Installing WordPress
  • Finding and using an initial design
  • Getting started

Attendees will walk away with the knowledge of how to get started with using WordPress.
