Child Theme Basics & Twenty Seventeen Theme Demo

Have you ever upgraded your theme and had your customizations wiped out? In this presentation, we'll talk about what a child theme is, why you should use one, how to set one up, and possible alternatives. We'll use the Twenty Seventeen theme (the default theme that comes with a fresh WordPress install) as an example. We'll also go through a quick demo of its features. The agenda:

6:00 - 6:15: Introductions. What you do, are you looking to hire, are you looking for work?
6:15 - 6:45: Speaker and topic.
6:45 - 7:00: Questions and answers on the topic.
7:00 - 8:00: Get help with WordPress. Bring your laptop for this part. There's a wide range of experience levels, and we're all here to help each other.
8:00: Soft Close. You may hang out a bit longer to talk or finish up a project, but the official Meetup will end.

To find us: The room is on the ground floor. To the right of the elevators, go through the glass doors where it says Conference Center. Then go down the hall to the room labeled Training Room.
