We'd like to welcome Julius Lopez, organizer for the Divi Los Angeles Meetup! As this month's presenter, Julius will discuss and provide an in-depth demo on building/redesigning a blog using the Divi Theme Builder. His talk will include:

• How the Theme Builder solved a development/design issue
• A process to create blogs
• An overview of the Theme Builder and Advanced Custom Fields
• Demo portion: add new fields to WP posts, populate new fields with data, build a Theme Builder layout for Posts using a pre-designed Divi layout, modify the layout with Divi's dynamic content feature, demo how to switch to a new layout with minimal work

Tonight's meeting is scheduled until 8pm to allow for a demo, and time for questions afterwards.

ABOUT JULIUS:
Julius, along with his wife Irene, are co-owners of Trivessa, a web design studio in Thousand Oaks, CA. He created his first website back when Netscape Navigator was the top browser. His IT background in desktop security and management includes UCLA, Intuit, and the BBC. He now specializes in building fast, secure websites with WordPress and Divi, as well as hosting Divi Los Angeles Meetup.

Hailing from the southern tip of Los Angeles, Julius met his first love in 1976 when his dad took the family to the Long Beach Gran Prix. It was love at first rev. He is now a fervent fan of various forms of motorsport—particularly F1 and Australian Supercars.

An early adopter of technology, Julius built one of his first websites from his apartment. It’s purpose? To hold an virtual garage sale for offloading unnecessary items before moving out of his apartment. He later used his skills to update his daughter’s elementary school website. His latest side project is an online auction website to help raise funds for a program at his daughter’s high school.
