What we're about

Whether you’re a first-time blogger or seasoned developer, there’s always more to learn. From community members all over the world, the vast resources available on Learn WordPress (https://learn.wordpress.org/) will help you learn more about WordPress and teach it to others.

One of the best ways to learn is through social discussions with others. The meetups here bring together people around the content hosted on learn.wordpress.org (http://learn.wordpress.org/) for live discussions and learning. We share knowledge, exchange ideas, and learn from each other. When you sign up for a meetup, please take the time to watch the suggested workshop(s) in advance where necessary.

Adding Custom CSS to Your Site

Online event

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.
