Theme Workshop

Join me for a theme workshop titled “Customizing your WordPress theme: Best Practices” . The workshop is targeted towards beginners interested in learning how to customize a WordPress theme the “right way”. It will focus on six best practices relating to theme customization. An overview of each practice will be presented followed by a live demonstration. The goal of the workshop is to help you build a solid foundation and give you the confidence to start customizing your WordPress theme. The six best practices:

  • Setup WordPress locally
  • Use a proper text editor
  • Use a child theme
  • Use an FTP client
  • Use Firebug
  • Use the Codex

As you can see this talk will be targeted specifically to beginners that have little to no experience customizing a WordPress theme. If you are wondering what the heck a child theme is and have never heard of FTP or Firebug, then this is the presentation for you!
