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
