How to install WordPress and How to create your own theme
This month is a beginner’s themed night and will cover two introductory topics – how to set your first WordPress website up and an introduction to creating bespoke WordPress themes. As always there will be plenty of chance to ask questions, discuss solutions and network with a wide range of WordPress users, from beginner to expert.
