Teaching is the best way to develop mastery, as they say. For this meetup, we want to give you the opportunity to showcase your knowledge and hone your teaching skills.

Got off to a slow start. I should have picked a different group to work with. I joined the "new users" group and didn't get much out of it. I don't know a lot about WP so I thought it would be good to fill in the gaps. I can honestly say that if I didn't know as much as I do, nothing they said would have made sense to me. As a class for beginners, I think there was too much assumed prior knowledge. I would also recommend that the presenters polish up on their public speaking skills. Everyone was super nice, and very helpful, but the lack of organization and insufficient planning was a distraction for me.

A lot of it was Q & A but I can write up some notes tonight and post them at andrewspittle.net. The plan is also to do a new users workshop like last night on a regular basis. Perhaps every 3 months or so.

Great, thanks for asking. I looked forward to it all day and my ride fell through and my job had wiped me out.

This was a great event. One of my favorite meetups that I have been to. Kudos to the presenters, I really liked all three. The ideas for generating lots of angles for a topic to form new blogging ideas was great. So simple, yet I think this will help me alot. And I learned some handy new plugins and extensions. And finally, I have been learning lately about typography, and the third presenter was so convincing I actually went straight to powells and bought the book he recommended.

I didn't realize that the Developers had started their own monthly meeting on a different day.

Hi. I am the founder of a small ethical fashion line called Elkarti, Morocco. I am attending this workshop tomorrow and hope to meet someone to help me with an online cart improvement. Below is my need and of course I will pay. Considering a start up student run social enterprise business. I want to make my website cart customized to an interactive online shopping boutique. I would like to organize different designs by category where multiple designs would show in the same page. The designs need to be organized by style, ( handbags, clutches, totes..) Link the website to online media and a mobile version of the site. My current we site : www.elkarti.com
