Planned
Future meetups – 2025
We’ve had some recommendations for future meetups.
- Developing an artists or portfolio site using WP.
- Explore WordPress 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 highlights?
- Guided walkthrough of Justin Tadlock’s tutorial on “Mixing and matching styles, colors, and typography in WordPress 6.6″
- In person social meetup and informal discussion event around a particular area of WP, with perhaps people getting to Portsmouth earlier and doing a trip up the Spinnaker Tower first.
