During the fourth WordPress workshop in Novi Sad, we went through the basics of HTML and CSS, we covered the best practices for adding custom CSS to a WordPress site, we went through some of the options of the element Inspector in browsers, and we also manually created a child theme.
After the workshop, I created a short video walkthrough of the element Inspector options in Chrome and I covered the basic creation of a child theme (both manual and via a plugin).

During the next workshop, we’ll go through WP-CLI and creating a web shop by using WooCommerce.
During the workshop, we went through creating a WordPress website manually by using MAMP or WAMP and then migrating the entire site to a hosting provider.
After the workshop, I recorded a video of the entire process which you can find below:

For the next workshop, we’ll dive into HTML and CSS.
During the 2nd WordPress Workshop in Novi Sad (here’s the link to the first one #), the attendees worked on completing the remaining tasks I prepared for mastering WordPress.com site creation. The videos of the solutions can be found here.

For the next workshop, we’ll dive deeper into installing WordPress locally and we’ll also install WordPress on a host via cPanel – I’m still checking which hosting provider we should use 😀
On Saturday, we had our first WordPress workshop in the Startit Center of Novi Sad. The workshops were conducted in 3 groups of ~30 people and each group had a dedicated time slot of 2 hours. We managed to cover several topics:
The Beginning of WordPress
I shared the story of WordPress beginnings, B2/cafelog, and the post that started it all. I spoke about Matt Mullenweg, Mike Little, GPL, and how a few dedicated people devoted to the same cause can make great things happen.
I guided the attendees through the process of creating a WordPress.com account and afterward, I demonstrated how to create a site from scratch by using different WordPress editors, Gutenberg blocks, and Customizer options. Afterward, the attendees worked on a few exercises I previously created and they launched their shiny new sites.
Additional Material
After the workshops, several people approached me and they mentioned it would be super cool to have a video of the whole process I used when I created a WordPress.com site from scratch.
So, here’s the video 🙂
