Have you ever wondered what a "local" installation of WordPress means?

Have you ever wanted to experiment with WordPress on your computer--without having it immediately go live for all the world to see?

Do you want to explore the different options you have to set up WordPress locally on your computer?

If so, this workshop on Local WordPress Installation is for you!

This is a BEGINNER LEVEL workshop where we will explore four different methods of installing WordPress on your local machine together--no hosting required!

Do you want to add your own design to your WordPress site without having to search for a new theme? Learning how to add some custom CSS to your site will help you do exactly that!

CSS is the code you can use to add custom styles to any part of your website. This workshop is targeted at site owners who may not know how to code but would like some more control over what their site looks like.

Come and learn how to identify the elements on your site, create custom CSS rules for them, and style them however you want. We'll go over some basic CSS rules you can use to start styling your site today.

If you have a specific thing on your site that you're wanting to style then bring that along and we'll take some time to look at a few of those at the end.
