WordPress 101 – Part 2 of 6

Now that we’ve covered what WordPress is and some of the components of this powerful website building platform, it’s time to roll our sleeves up and get hands-on.

During this Meetup you’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of setting up your own WordPress website.

We will all be using “Local by FlyWheel” – a free software program that allows you to build a WordPress website right on your own computer, without the need for a web hosting account. (Don’t worry, when you’re ready to launch your website, it’s as easy as clicking a button to sign up for an affordable FlyWheel hosting plan.)

We will walk you through:
* Downloading the “Local by FlyWheel” free software program
* Choosing a free WordPress theme
* Building your first few pages
* Setting up your navigation menu
* Starting your first blog post
* Adding some images to pages and posts

Please note: If you couldn’t make it to the first WordPress 101 class, don’t worry – we’ll get you up to speed in no time!

WHAT TO BRING:
Laptops are encouraged since you’ll be working on your own website. If you don’t have a laptop, you can team up with someone in the class or follow along with the demonstration. You’ll probably want to take notes, so bring a notebook and pen/pencil.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE CLASS:
* Choose a name for your new website.
* Think about – and write down – what you will be using your website for and what you want to accomplish with it.

PLEASE RSVP so we know how many refreshments to provide.
