Free Webinar - WordPress 101

July 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Meredith and Raggio will begin by introducing Wordpress as both a blogging platform and a framework for custom-designed websites for businesses. The speakers will walk attendees through all the necessary steps for setting up a company blog. Strategies for creating marketing opportunities through blogging and social media plugins will also be discussed. Participants will come away from the Wordpress webinar with actionable resources for tapping the design, search engine optimization and branding potential of this award-winning content management system.

“Wordpress began as a simple blogging web application but has since matured into a robust content management system used by major corporations around the globe,” explains Meredith, who designed an electronic media kit for Los Angeles Times Media Group. “If you knew how many of your favorite websites are powered by Wordpress, you’d be absolutely amazed.”

The live webinar event will be held at 12PM Noon PST. Following the presentation, registered participants will be given the opportunity to ask questions to the speakers. Attendees must register for the free Wordpress webinar prior to July 14. For more details, visit facebook.com/firmmedia.
