April’s User Group topic is a beginner’s guide to finding and choosing the right theme for your WordPress site: aptly titled “WordPress Themes: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly”.
Our presenter, Sarah McLennan, will share her expertise and experience on:
– Where are the best places for beginners to look for WordPress themes?
– What should you look for in choosing the right theme?
– What’s a “child theme” and why is it important?
– What pitfalls do you need to watch out for?
We’ll follow the presentation with a group discussion on your own experiences, and share valuable tips and tricks you can only get at the Meetup event!
Note: The User Group is for members who use WordPress and WordPress.com mainly as a publishing platform. The topics covered are accessible and understandable for anyone regardless of previous experience with WordPress.
