WordPress Workshop (http://bigrockurban.com/sites/default/files/web-menu-july2015.pdf) is back with an invigorating new format, a delicious new venue, and new guest speakers!

Our first Meetup of the Fall season is on a topic close to all bloggers' hearts – SEO.

Widely seen as the top tool for optimizing your web site, the Yoast SEO (http://blogsitestudio.com/getting-yoast-seo-settings/) plugin goes deep and broad with features that get often overshadowed by the basic page edit tool.

Mari Kane will show you how to use Yoast's page tool to optimize each post and page. She'll also demonstrate other lesser-known Settings features that help optimize your entire site for search engines.
