This is a special meetup that will be focused on the technical aspects of theming a WordPress site.

We'll cover:


  • How WordPress handles themes and presentation (and why it's so great.)
  • Where to look if you're interested in learning more about themes
  • How to find theme-specific answers very quickly
  • We'll edit a theme in real-time
  • How starting with a theme framework can speed up development

While you don't need to have any experience with WordPress themes to attend and participate, be warned that this won't be an in-depth "What is WordPress" meeting - we'll focus on themes and theme development.

If you'd like to do some reading before the meeting, here are some great resources:

    I really wanted to be there tonight, but my good friend's Mom is at Tacoma General so I went there tonight. I guess I'll just have to get advice on WordPress themes from you all on the discussion board!

Who attended?

  • 11 attendees
    • “ As most things when beginning, it was moments of confusion mixed with flashes of comprehension. It will take me more time to develop the skills I want. The leader is knowledgeable; a skillful teacher; and organized. I think I was one of the least knowledgeable in attendance. ”
    • “ Great discussion re: WP. Relaxed, welcoming group with a great Organizer who knows his stuff! ”
    • “ This was one of the best meetups yet. ”

      “ This was a more techie meetup than normal with yours truly doing much of the talking. This was a unique meeting in that we covered one subject, WordPress Theming, in more depth. Great questions and I hope it was helpful for some. ”
