WordCamp Video Highlight 2018/09/28

Posted on Friday, September 28th, 2018 at 12:52 pm by John Parkinson

I had the pleasure of attending WordCamp Pittsburgh on September 22, 2018. This is very convenient for me since it is only an hours drive. I had volunteered to help out with the video cameras. Jim Coyle was the lead for the video team and had everything well organized for the event. The videos will start to appear on WordPress.tv shortly. I had a great time, made some new friends and got to see some of my old WordPress friends. The event was well organized and ran smoothly.

Noobs. Rookies. Beginners.

We’ve all been there at one time or another. Where to start, what theme do I use, which plugins to get started, etc., etc., etc.

Here are two videos for beginners that deal with security and plugins.

Christina Hills : A Beginners Guide to Free WordPress Plugins

One of the most confusing (and exciting) features of using WordPress is Plugins! But how do you know for sure which ones you absolutely need and which you should avoid at all costs?
In this session, Christina Hills will walk you though, step-by-step, the various types of plugins you might need as well as how to properly evaluate and install them.

Slides for this presentation can be found HERE.

Adam Warner: WordPress Security for Beginners

Security can seem intimidating and complex for many of us, but we shouldn’t (can’t) let that stop us from making sure we’re doing everything we can to secure our WordPress sites. After all, our websites are often part of our livelihood.

With the announcement from WordCamp Central about the Incubator Program in February of 2016 and then three locations being chosen for the program, I thought featuring videos from WordCamp Harare and WordCamp Denpasar would highlight the progress that these Communities have made.

Sizo Sinyolo: When Time Says No, WordPress Says Yes

Talk about pressure! Sizo was tasked with creating an E-commerce WordPress site and didn’t know anything about WordPress!

“I had never used WordPress until pressure mounted on me as an internship student , the company wanted the website up and running within a week.” 

Presentation Slides can be seen HERE.

 

Wibowo Sulistio: Leveling up through Pro Bono dev work

“Pro bono work is fun and rewarding. It is also a great way to level up your WordPress prowess and reputation, either as a freelance developer or as part of a digital agency. When you give back to society, you receive back as much, if not more.”
