This is Eps 3
Today is an Intro to WordPress
What is WP?
* A Free open source CMS project used for building websites and blogs
* Made up of tons of PHP files
* Highly customizable if you know what you are doing
* Uses plugins
* some paid/most have unpaid options
Pluses
* Ease of use
* FREE
* open sourced
* Great for E-commerce
* don’t need to create your own online store
* Nice to have a blog incorporated into a website without losing visual continuity
* explain
Minus
* File heavy
* can be slow
* plugins aren’t always kept up to date
* easy to forget to update WP itself if you don’t have auto update turned on
* need to rely on WP to be secure vs a custom built site
* Great platform but boring if you don’t customize
Be sure that you are comfortable with HTML & CSS
