Live WordPress Training – by iThemes

By Nina East

I frequently get questions about how to begin working with WordPress – from basic questions to more advanced. Live, visual training, where you can see exactly what it is being done – and be able to ask questions about how and why – is really the best training.

iThemes, one of my all-time favorite premium theme companies, is offering a live, in-person 2-day workshop in Dallas, Texas, Jan. 29 & 30 (Friday and Saturday).

–The WP Theme Bootcamp–

I just finished a 6-hour webinar training led by the same people who will lead the 2-day training.
Yes, 6 hours. On a FRIDAY, no less.
It was amazing. I don’t really think I’m all that geeky – I do ride a Harley, after all – but I was totally engaged the entire time. I can only imagine what having 2 full days with these guys will be like.

They will answer a lot of questions, including:

  • How do I customize my theme with CSS and graphics?
  • How do I setup and optimize WordPress?
  • How do WordPress themes work and how can I take them to the next level?
  • How can I leverage WordPress as a CMS? (cms = content management system)

So as you can see, it’s not just for developers. Basic users who want to know more will gain tremendously. Not just skills…but also the confidence to take steps on your own. (I know, I shouldn’t be pushing that since this is how I make a living, but it really is so great that I think it’s worth it if you have even the teensiest interest.)

Plus they’ll also cover things like:

  • The keys and benefits to using WordPress as a CMS
  • How to install and optimize WordPress for search engine optimization and every day use
  • The best plugins to extend the power of WordPress
  • How to backup, restore and secure your WordPress sites
  • What WordPress theme files do and how they work
  • Graphic design tips and tricks to personalize your WP sites
  • Tips for customizing WordPress themes with CSS
  • Using the WordPress Widgets feature to fine tune your sites for conversion

They are only accepting 50 people, so if you want to go, you’ll want to hop on the bandwagon.

It’ll be great. And I hear Dallas is beautiful in winter. [superemotions file="icon_cool.gif" title="Cool"]
