On Sunday I spoke at the fantastic BlogOn Conference, about WordPress, sharing my favourite tips & tricks. I haven’t done any kind of public speaking or presentations since university so it was quite a challenge to get up there and talk about WordPress to all these bloggers!
I have been using WordPress for over ten years, building my own sites and tinkering with the code. I haven’t ever taken any courses on this stuff, I just have lots of self-taught knowledge and experience.
Because of this lack of formal training or qualifications I always feel a tiny bit like a fraud when it comes to my work or knowing what I’m on about! James says I’m silly but it’s difficult to always have confidence in myself and what I do, so to see a whole room of people sit & listen to what I had to say, and then to ask intelligent questions that I could answer, was incredible for me.
Instead of just putting my slides on my blog I thought I would share them as a series of posts with a bit of explanation when needed, so it makes more sense than a series of bullet points.
I’m going to split these posts into four parts:
- Tidy up your blog & quick tips to improve blog appearance
- Optimise your site/improve site speed
- Keep it secure & back it up
- My favourite plugins
The first one will be up later today so keep an eye out for that.
Pin it for later…
Looking forward to reading these, my blog could do with an overhaul!
I cant wait to see these posts, you were fantastic at Blog On hun and qualifications mean nothing when you have been tinkering with stuff like this for 10 years! Thank you for everything Zoe! x
