    WordCamp Chicago 2014 Video

    Many thanks to WordCamp Chicago for letting me come and speak on WordPress 101 this year. I really had an amazing time. Here’s the video posted on WordPress.tv and I’ll be presenting this again at WordCamp New York City 2014.

    One of the things I promised was some of the resources from my presentation:

    Learning Code

    Codecademy: http://codecademy.com

    Lynda.com: http://lynda.com

    Mozilla Webmaker: http://webmaker.org/ (I apologize for incorrectly calling it Web Kit in my talk).

    You can view my slides on my previous post here. If there is anything else you would like me to add, please feel free to let me know! Would appreciate the feedback as well especially since I’m going to present it again.

  • WordPress 101 Presentation – Foundation Friday at WordCamp Chicago 2014

    Thanks so much to everyone who made it out to my talk yesterday in Chicago for WordPress 101. I really enjoyed it and am deeply humbled to have been accepted to speak. Below are my slides from yesterday, and I didn’t add anything to it. However, I would welcome any comments or further questions, including what resources you would like to see. Ask away!

  • My WordCamp Ottawa Workshop “WordPress for Small Businesses” – Slides

    Thanks so much to everyone who took a chance on my workshop today at WordCamp Ottawa. When I took a look around the room, I got the feeling that everyone was a little skeptical about my methods. Turns out there were quite a few moments of “Satori”, a Japanese term that means “enlightenment”.

    One of the biggest takeaways: Don’t use the term “Blog” as a category or a menu item. Tell me more about the content of the blog. I’ve also added a photo of the resulting menu that we crowdsourced through the session and my 3-5-7 rules since it seemed to be a really big deal.

    Would love to hear your feedback on this presentation as well as what you’d like to hear me talk about next! I’m going to be at WordCamp Chicago in June doing “WordPress 101” next and submitting a few more talks this year. You tell me!
