With Joe Rozsa In the User/Admin track

Slides

Congrats. You’re having a WP Toronto

Description

I’ve often found when people first start to use WP that frustration sets in very quickly. It’s not the fault of WP, but more by the fact that these new users and admins haven’t been shown how things are done within the WP dashboard. When I do presentations I like to try to tie a real life experience into what I’m presenting about WP. This session compares having/launching and new WP site to having a baby. There are so many unknowns that you need to find out about both. It’s a fun, light-hearted session about not getting frustrated. No one really knows how to change a diaper, but they learn quickly. The same holds true with many things associated with a new WP site. Hopefully by the end of the session, I give new users hope that the frustration is only temporary.

Learning Outcomes

I want people to leave my session knowing that things that they don’t know about WP are only temporary and there’s no need to get frustrated. I will have explained and compared things within WP to those of having a new born baby. Once they get the hang of things and how to do them, they become second nature.
