WordPress Basic Orientation will be the speaking topic at the next luncheon hosted by Madlen Saddik of Successful Thinkers of the Bay Area/Peninsula Region .  I will be walking people through the basics of WordPress as a website and blogging platform.  Please join us this Friday, September 13 from 11:30am – 1:30pm in San Mateo.

The topic is focused on How to setup your blog, including:

  • Difference between a WordPress.com (free site) and WordPress.org (Self Hosted)
  • Installing a theme
  • Creating pages (tabs at top of pages)
  • Differences between pages and posts
  • How to  add plug-in’s and configure them
  • How to upload media
  • How to use WordPress to blog either directly within WordPress, thru Hootsuite, or copy and pasting from Word
  • Using the scheduler feature
  • Adding a Featured Image
  • Maintaining your site

Attached is a PDF file on WordPress Basics for Blogging WordPressBasicBlogging_SocialAna_Sept2013 but at the Successful Thinkers luncheon, I will be walking people through the dashboard settings from my WordPress account and suggesting plug-in’s that are simple to install. Time permitting, I will also share how you can create a Tab for your WordPress in Hootsuite so that you can manage your day to day social media activities, curate content from various resources and use the scheduler feature and Blog directly within Hootsuite!
