This workshop will review and build on the Establishing an Academic Digital Identity and Intro to WordPress workshop held in Fall 2018. Continuing the conversation about academic digital identity, this workshop will involve a conceptual and technical discussion of how to integrate social media with your WordPress site. Building on the technical basics we covered in the Fall workshop, we will discuss how you can customize and style your site – including changing the layout of the site by choosing a different theme, adding functionality with plugins, customizing menus, changing your site header or coloring across the site using the Customizer function and custom CSS, and modifying the basic structure of the site by building a child-theme. Since we will not be covering how to create a WordPress site during this workshop, we recommend that you come with a WordPress site that has content that you can work with during the workshop – even if it is only a practice site.
