Wordpress is traditionally known as a blogging tool. More recently it has become a popular tool to manage small websites, aka a CMS (Content Management System).

This is a small hands-on workshop delivered by Mark Kirby which will cover the basics of how to create a client site using Wordpress as a simple CMS. Mark will explore some of the pro’s and con’s of using Wordpress as a CMS and show you how to quickly turn a site’s HTML and CSS into a Wordpress template.

You are expected to have basic knowledge of HTML and CSS.

Mark Kirby is a web developer in Brighton.

...or if you earn your living as any kind of writer.

The idea is to compare notes, bounce ideas around, talk about opportunities, industry trends, discuss tips and tricks and basically just have a good ol' natter with likeminded folk. Not structured - just cosy.

Do send me an email if you plan to come, or even if you can't come - let me know when might be more convenient in future: ellen@ellendevries.co.uk

There'll be a second tranche on Tuesday 12th August. We've already filled a number of places by inviting Geek Girls, Sussex Uni students and a couple of other groups.

We have put aside some reserved places for first-timers and any international attendee's who would be travelling overseas to be with use. If you fall into either of these two groups and would like to come along please email: glenn DOT jones AT madgex DOT com

We'll roll the unused allocations from these groups into the second tranche of tickets on the 12th. The URL for the second tranche will be the same as the first wave:

We're really excited about BarCampBrighton3; where back at the Sussex University Student Union building which proved to be such a good venue last time. So if you think you'd like to come, don't delay and sign up as soon as you can!

We are still looking for a last couple of sponsors for the event. If you can support our community event or known someone who can we really appreciate the help. http://icanhaz.com/bcbs

Come along for a chat over a beer about work you've got, work you want, client frustrations or the latest technology.

Generally 12-14 people attend over the evening. To help find us look out for the technical book on the table (normally a black and orange Apress book.)

We'll be in the beer garden if the weather is good.
