[WebPub] WordPress training

[J Darcy Duke]

http://digwp.com/

It's self-published - we originally bought just the PDF, but I later ordered a paper copy, which is somewhat unwieldy as a spiral-bound.  If anyone wants to take a look before buying, let me know.

Maybe I'll suggest we buy it for the Libraries.  :)

Thank you all for discussing Word Press development and possibly building more of a wp-community here at MIT.

In EECS we are using Word Press for a grad student blog (<http://eecsblogs.mit.edu/blog/>http://eecsblogs.mit.edu/blog/) and for the EECS newsletter (<http://eecs-newsletter.mit.edu>http://eecs-newsletter.mit.edu).  I am now working on setting up both a blog and cms site for a separate program within the department and will undoubtedly be reaching out for help along the way.  The book 'Digging Into WordPress' looks very helpful--based on its site (<http://digwp.com/book/>http://digwp.com/book/).  It is not sold on Amazon.  Do you have a hardcopy --if so, how did you purchase it?

thanks,
Patsy

I don't, but I'd be interested in hearing any recommendations as well. Our group in the Libraries have gotten a lot out of "Digging Into WordPress" by Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr.  We are also looking into hiring a consultant to work with us to establish "best practices" for our WP sites (WP is simple to set up, but has a lot of complicated options!).

Hi,

Does anyone know of any courses available to learn all about designing and coding for WordPress? Preferably in the Boston/Cambridge area.


Thanks,

Monique
