How to Edit & Create WordPress Themes

Peninsula Library (map)

Selected By: Eric A.

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!

    Hey Jill, Sorry you couldn't make it and I hope your friend's Mom's okay.

    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.

    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.
