November 9 workshop


For this month's workshop we will have two demonstrations.

First, we will demonstrate editing & publishing posts to a WordPress blog/website. Then we will demonstrate how to add an RSS feed icon & widget to this site. The RSS Links Widget allows you to add a link to your blog’s post. This makes it easy for your readers to stay updated when you post new content as they are automatically notified whenever you post something new.
    Then we will demonstrate building a single page website from scratch.  Up to this point we've been using templates but this time we will start with a blank page & build from there.
    This demonstration will cover the following:
    • Create a Home page
    • Create a Webpage Layout using div tags
    • Styling the various sections of the webpage, which includes:
      • The banner, top navigation menu, the left column & the footer    
    • Adding Meta tags
    Then we will add navigation to the site for the following:
    • Horizontal top menu
    • Left side navigation menu
