WordPress Leeds - Monthly Meetup

Our monthly meetup for WordPress users, bloggers and developers.

We have one speaker this month, with a Lean Coffee, Q&A for the second session.

Let’s make a website together! – Revisiting the basics of WordPress - Kayleigh Thorpe
An introductory talk for people who are newer to WordPress and making websites in it. I think its a topic that isn’t covered enough at events these days and I’d like to encourage newer users to dive in to WordPress.
I will be going over how to use the dashboard to create a new website.
Topics covered will include how to create posts, pages, menus and how they correspond to the content displayed on your site. How to create galleries, and search for themes and plugins.
I will also talk about a couple of popular plugins, for example how to use Yoast and add contact forms to your site.

Why not speak at our next event?

We are always looking for people to come and speak at our events. So if you have an idea for a talk, a discussion or just want to show folks what you have been working on, please get in touch. You don't need to be a professional speaker or even to have spoken in a group before.

If you don't want to do a talk, but are interested in hearing about a specific subject, or have an idea/problem, please get in touch and we will try and find someone who can help.
