As promised, Bob Dunn provided us with some follow-up insights from last week’s Newbie Workshop:<\/p>\n

WordCamp Chicago, Some Resources and a Bit of Insight<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Bob Dunn<\/a> and Mary DuQuaine<\/a> provided an introduction to the world of WordPress. \u00a0The WP world is full of tech terms and they both gave some tips and hints to make things easier. Our suggestion? \u00a0Immerse yourself in the dashboard, learn the language by reading articles on WordPress and use tutorials to help bring it all together. \u00a0And, of course, invest in WordPress for Dummies<\/a> by Lisa Sabin-Wilson<\/a> to get you started.<\/p>\n

Chicago has some great WordPress Meetup groups to support you along the way!<\/p>\n

Chicago Northside WordPress Meetup Group<\/a><\/p>\n

WordPress Lake County (IL) Meetup Group<\/a><\/p>\n

[Ed: there’s also a new meetup out in McHenry County<\/a>!]<\/p>\n
