Join the WordPress Portsmouth Online Meetup on Wednesday the 25th September 2024 for a lively conversation along the lines of “What have you been doing?”.
Our last meetup was way back in March, where we discussed contact forms. Since then WordPress reached its 21st anniversary in May. But that was a bit of a damp squib; we cancelled both our in person meetup and then the online one.
There’s (probably) been a lot happening in the WordPress world in the last 5 months… April, May, June, July and August. But I, for one, have missed most of it.
Other than content creation, I ( Herb Miller ), have been doing very little WordPress wise. Methinks it’s time for a bit of a catch up. So this month’s topic is
What have you been doing with WordPress since we last met?
The idea is that attendees share what they’ve been doing with WordPress in the last 6 months covering such things as
- successes,
- failures,
- challenges resolved,
- areas where they need help
- etc.
It’ll be an open floor, but don’t hog it!
🏕️ WHO CAN ATTEND?
All levels of experience of WordPress and website publishing welcome. We are a learning and development group. We welcome WordPress beginners.
Please sign-up if you intend to join the Meetup. If you are new to the group, please can you complete your Meetup profile to help us plan topics.
