2018

Two classes on August 25th, at Mechanics Institute, in San Francisco.

The morning class is a round table discussion where we discuss general questions such as: domain names, hosting, websites, and what you need to get started.

What is the difference between all these things? What should they cost me? What domain names should I buy and where?

Why do I need all of this to have a website?

This is a beneficial few hours for many people. You can ask me any questions you like.

I have a presentation and hand-out with all the important facts you need to know.

It is common for people to not understand exactly how this all works. It can be quite confusing.

This is a warm and informative environment to learn. There are no silly questions here.

This class is affordable! Click the link below to sign up and read more details if you are interested.

The second class in the afternoon is an actual hands-on WordPress (WP) training class.

Once you sign up, I will be sending your own WP test site. This is your site to use for the class, and to practice on for 90 days.

This also includes some short videos, I will send you, showing you how to login and give you a bit of the basics, before the class.

Just some of what we will be covering will include: blogging, writing a good search engine optimized article, what is search engine optimization and why do you need it? What is the difference between a page and a post? Do I have to blog?

You will learn how to correctly add images and name them. All the parts of the dashboard and back end.

Even if you have been using your website, this is a great place to learn more and refresh what you already know.

After each section of the hands on presentation, we have a Q&A.

At the end of the training, Mary Knippel, a writing coach, former journalist and editor, will discuss with you:

writing posts, blogging,  how to stay motivated, how to tap into your creative side and ongoing ideas for your website.

Sometimes we just run out of steam, and Mary will help you dig into that creative mind we all have.

Smart Girls, Stupid Internet-Linda Lee, March 15, 2014

Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, texting- it’s all so much a part of our lives that we don’t even think about it. No big deal if we tweet a photo or message in the heat of the moment, whine about our boss on Facebook or send a sexy picture to someone we’re crushing on, right? Wrong, so wrong. When our parents were teens so long ago, letters could be destroyed and even hard drives erased, but today any online decision we make sticks to us forever and can cause life-altering problems. Internet guru, Linda Lee, teaches us cyber-savvy strategies to have fun online while keeping yourself and your information safe.   To learn more, visit the Marin Teen Conference website.
