More and more libraries are looking for a way to make dynamic, easy-to-edit websites. Many of these libraries turn to powerful content management systems and then find that they have taken on more than they can handle. WordPress has gotten a reputation as a blogging platform, but many are using it for their entire websites—including libraries. This workshop will guide librarians through the basics of using WordPress as a content management system for an entire library website and give attendees hands-on experience that they can take back to their libraries.

By the end of this session, participants will:

  • Know what they need to install wordpress
  • Be able to find and choose from existing templates/designs
  • Be able to add and edit website content using WordPress

Presenter: Nicole C. Engard, Director of Open Source Education at ByWater Solutions
