Greetings fellow WordPressers,

We are still trying to work out a WordPress for Beginners Workshop at the end of the month. Stay tuned for more details...

For now, we are delighted to bring you the following 2 topics for the month of August

ToolBox: Ben Hughes will be presenting on videos, the basics of filming and easy integration of video into WordPress.

Dev/Design: Amanda Blum from Howling Zoe Productions will be presenting "Why Site Mapping is the Ugly Redheaded StepChild of Website Development." Whether you’re a developer or a user, figuring out the “what goes where” and “what should my website say” bit does seem to spin people into knots. For a long time, we’ve been thinking completely logically about it, creating wholly reasonable menus that put items into truly common sensible categories. The whole thing makes complete sense…… to us. Therein lies the problem: we’ve been putting out the information in the way we, as the site owners want to give it. We have often ignored how people – our users – might want to receive the information.

Agenda:
7-7:30pm - Networking, Pizza
7:30-7:45pm - Opening remarks, updates, any other business
7:50-8:50pm - Sessions (rooms TBD)
8:50-9pm - Wrap-up
