I am a speaker, trainer, and fan of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Apple Keynote (to name a few). An Adobe Certified Expert, I conduct training for corporations onsite, as well as hold open training classes for anyone that wants to learn. Based between Denver and Boulder, Colorado, I am available for training and speaking throughout the Rocky Mountain West, and beyond.
In the near future, I will be expanding my class offerings to include, among other titles, What’s New: InDesign CS4, InDesign for Non-Designers, and The Delicate Art of Working with a Print Provider.
In the meantime, check out my Current Training, and feel free to e-mail me (using the Contact Me link to the right) to be added to the class mailing list, get info, or just say, “Hi!” Thanks for stopping by and come back soon!
This week, I’ll be talking about one of my newest obsessions: Wordpress. I’ve found this open source software to be quite fun and more than a little bit addicting. Sometimes working with WP can be a bit daunting, but I just see that as part of the challenge. I’m not a coder, by any means, but I’ve found digging into WP’s code to tweak functions and fonts and colors to be intriguing.
Lots of sites (like ericagamet.com) are using Wordpress at their core. You’d be surprised that many of them don’t look like blogs…because they’re not! With a little bit of tweaking and re-arranging, a Wordpress site can be used as a Content Management System (CMS) to look just like a “regular” website.
Come to my free hour-long seminar to find out what Wordpress is, how people are using it beyond blogging, and ways to customize a Wordpress site to your liking. I won’t be getting all technical at this seminar…don’t want to scare anyone away. I hope you’ll join me for my casual chat about Wordpress.
