What we’re about
The Boston WordPress Meetup is a Meetup group for fans of WordPress, the most popular open source blogging engine. Join us once a month to learn more about WordPress and meet other WP fans, including SEO gurus, theme designers, plugin developers, bloggers, and beginners. Traditionally, we meet at the Microsoft New England Research & Development Center for a presentation, Q&A session, and casual networking. When we don't have a formal event planned, join us for informal social events at nearby restaurants and pubs.
Boston WordPress events are held in the evenings, on the last Monday of every month, unless otherwise noted.

Presentation 1: Building WordPress sites with DIVI
Come learn about the friendliest and most intuitive website builder I've come across: DIVI. In this session I will review how you can easily use many of its features, including default fonts, color palette, and layout settings to create a WordPress site. There are even Woocommerce modules! Set up cool features like animations, sticky menus, accordion panels, using dynamic featured images, slide shows, borders and more!
Bio: Roger Weiss
I started out as a math teacher, then segued into computer programming. For the past 25 years I have been a website developer. Starting out coding in HTML, I now specialize in Wordpress sites.I have been using the DIVI theme for at least 5-10 years, and have found its features to be pretty impressive. You can find my site at Bostonwebco.com
Presentation 2: Boston WordPress Help Desk
Whether you need help with a specific WordPress issue, want to contribute your knowledge to help others, or just want to listen & learn, this WordPress Help Desk is for you! Bring your laptop and WordPress challenges. Though the two-hour time limit means we may not solve every issue, we will try!Come prepared with your website loaded, WordPress admin access ready, sites backed up, and a staging environment when possible. Since volunteers helping may not be experts, there's risk of breaking your site - please don't bring client or business sites that could impact revenue or reputation.
