Hi Mike,
Frankly I haven't a clue what you chaps are talking about! Seems a bit 'boys and their toys' ( :

I'm sorry you've got that impression Marian. In fact we have a number of women in the group with skills ranging from beginner to expert developer, just like the 'boys'.

There is an opportunity to suggest more beginner stuff in the survey.

We have a more user oriented session as the first half of our monthly meetings, with the second half devoted to the techie stuff.

I was in the Intermediate WordPress course that Mike taught this past weekend (great job, Mike!), and was pleased to see that out of 19 participants, there were nine women.

The user group typically isn't split quite so evenly between the sexes, but there are usually a fair number of women in attendance.

I hope to attend the Advanced course when it happens (soon, I hope, Mike), if I'm in Britain at the time, and look forward to seeing lots of other women (and men) there.

I'm wondering if there could be a review of even more basics on occasion for total or near beginners.

Thats probably a good idea. Though given it could probably take an hour, it might make sense to organise a separate "absolute beginners" session every now and then.

I think it would take something more like two hours to explain even the basics of the dashboard to complete beginners Mike – so yes, it would be best to do  special sessions

 

If the whole range of WP features were to be crammed into one hour, beginners would be more likely to come away confused

I agree. I know a lot of the dashboard basics, but continue to miss some things. I think a workshop for those who have a site up already could be a way to weed out absolute beginners - though I would happily sit in a total beginner's workshop and learn from the start everything. I keep messing up the blog link, etc. (Hard to explain here.)

Thanks, 

LL.

Hi,

Just completed the survey. It did not take long - both sections in about 5 minutes.

Hi Marian,

So far all my training session have been held at MadLab (http://madlab.org.uk/) as they are done to help raise money to keep MadLab running.

The monthly meet-ups are also held there. 

I will think about putting together something like a half day (3 - 4 hours) "Introduction to WordPress" event. I'll post something here when I've thought it through.
