Following on from last year’s “WordPress Security – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly” this year we have “WordPress Joe Blow – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly”.
One of our meetup members, Stuart Garner, has graciously agreed to showcase his site which he has developed using WordPress.
As a regular “Joe Blow” WordPress site creator Stuart, a retired ECU Lecturer, will demonstrate what he has discovered so far and some of the decisions and challenges he faced getting there.
The introduction will be followed by an analysis of Stuart’s site by our panel who will put it under the magnifying scope to help him identify areas for improvement, as well as what has worked well – in short, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!
The agenda will be similar to previous events:
6:30pm – 7:00pm: Networking & pizza/drinks (Thanks Sponsors!)
7:00pm – 7:05pm: Introductions & Housekeeping
7:05pm – 7:25pm: Presentation by Stuart Garner
7:30pm – 8:00pm: Analysis by the expert panel
