<h3>Let's Dive In!</h3>
<h4>Your WordPress Dashboard</h4>
<div class="box">
<p class="green">Login with your uname and pw</p>
<p class="box--small">Update WordPress to the latest version</p>
<p class="box--small">Check the top nav bar for more updates</p>
<p class="box--small">Select 'Updates' to access updates interface</p>
<p class="box--small">Run all of your Updates</p>
<p class="blue">Next step: Security Checkup!</p>
<aside class="notes">Login if needed to your WP Dashboard. The top
navigation bar contains a circled arrows prompt that has a number
beside it if you have updates to install. You can either click this
prompt or the Updates item in the left column navigation to open
your Updates interface. It's important to keep your site updated for
security reasons. Perks for updating include new functionalities and
features. There's another security improvement we're going to make.
</aside>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<h3>WordPress Security - Important!</h3>
<div class="box">
<p>Avoid Dashboard login from Public WiFi!</p>
<p class="box--small">Check for and run WordPress updates regularly</p>
<p class="box--small green">In Dashboard -> Open Users</p>
<p class="box--small">If uname is admin - create a new user, delete admin</p>
<p class="box--small">Does your password qualify as 'Strong'?</p>
<p class="blue">[Pro Tip:] SSL Certificate protects<br />
user login info during transmission</p>
<aside class="notes">Keeping your site secure is important. You'll need to purchase a quality SSL certificate if you're monetizing your site or if you're setting it up to attract social participation and networking with multiple users. The default use of admin as a uname and wp-admin as the name of your admin directory make your site more vulnerable to automated hacking. So we're going to change these now as a security best practice for protecting your WordPress website.
</aside>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<h3>WordPress Security -> wp-login</h3>
<p class="blue">Let's install our first Plugin</p>
<div class="box--small">
<p>The default WP login page is wp-login.php</p>
<p class="box--small">We're going to install a Plugin to alter this</p>
<p class="box--small green">In Dashboard -> Open Plugins</p>
<p class="box--small">Click 'Add New' at the top</p>
<p class="box--small">Enter 'rename wp-login' in the Search box -> Search Plugins</p>
<p class="blue">click 'Install Now'...[installing]...then 'Activate Plugin'</p>
<aside class="notes">The Dashboard admin login code for all WordPress sites is in a file named wp-login.php - this is therefore a primary target for automated hacker scripts, so we're going to enable you to rename this login access path to add a layer of protection to your site. All of the available Security Plugins for WP are not created equal. I've experimented with some of them and most cause your site to load slower, which frustrates visitors. This Plugin is recommended by our friends at A2Hosting. It's light weight and effective so we're going to install it now.
</aside>
</div>

<h4>WordPress Security -> Permalinks</h4>
<div class="box">
<p>Activation automagic opens Settings -> Permalinks</p>
<p class="box--small">First change: from 'Default' to 'Post name'</p>
<p class="box--small green">Under Optional -> Rename wp-login.php </p>
<p class="box--small">Enter something unique</p>
<p class="box--small blue">'Save Changes'</p>
<p>Check out your new Dashboard url!</p>
<aside class="notes">After activation you're going automagically going to land in Settings -> Permalinks. First we're going to change one of the standard Permalinks Settings from Default to Post name. This is important for two reasons - 1) this change makes your post and page url's [links] readable; and 2) it's necessary to enable the next Permalink change we're going to make to add security to your site by changing the location name of your Dashboard login url [link]. You can pick any word or phrase as the replacement name for your login address. The default entry from wp-login to 'login' is just a prompt that tells you you're changing the address of your login URL / link.

<h3>Now Let's Explore <br />Customize Themes</h3>
<div class="box">
<p class="blue">Open Appearance -> Themes</p>
<p class="box--small green">Twenty Fourteen is the Active Theme</p>
<p class="box--small"><small>(no worries, we'll find more great free Themes later!)</small></p>
<p class="box--small">You can Activate one of the other pre-loaded Themes</p>
<p>Click your <span class="blue">Customize</span> Button</p>
<aside class="notes">
You can use the Twenty Fourteen theme or Activate one of the other pre-loaded themes. We're going to rough in some customizations and create some content before focusing on finding a theme that fits your taste. For now we're going to play with the Customize options to get comfortable with this interface.
</aside>

<section>
<h3>Theme 'Customize' Interface</h3>
<div class="box--small">
<p class="blue">Expand Site Title and Tagline - enter your info</p>
<p class="box--small green">Experiment with Colors, Header Image etc.</p>
<p class="box--small">We'll skip 'Static Front Page' and revisit this later</p>
<p class="box--small">New feature: Widgets are in the Customize menu!</p>
<p class="box--small">Widgets are drag-and-drop</p>
<p class="box--small">Click<span class="blue"> Save</span> to make the changes</p>
<p>It's Demo time!</p>
<aside class="notes">
Expand your Site title and tag line. Enter your customizations and be sure to click Save. We'll
skip the 'Static Front Page' item for now, and revist this and alternate Theme installation and activation after we've experimented with and demonstrated the difference between Pages and Posts.

<h3>Dashboard & View Site</h3>
<div class="box">
<p class="green">@Left side of your Dashboard top Nav Bar</p>
<p class="box--small">Click your site Name</p>
<p class="box--small">Then <span class="blue">right-click 'View Site'</span> in the dropdown</p>
<p class="box--small blue">Select 'Open in new Tab'</p>
<p>Personal preference - [2 tab toggle] or [in same tab]</p>
<aside class="notes">Opening your Dashboard and 'View Site' in
separate tabs allows you to easily View your changes as you
make modifications to your site. You can toggle between the
Dashboard and View Site in the same browser tab, but if you
forget to properly save your changes you're more likely to loose
them when you switch to 'View Site'</aside>

<h3>ON! 2 Posts and Pages!</h3>
<h4 class="green">What's the Dif??</h4>
<div class="box">
<p class="blue">Let's start with Pages</p>
<p class="box--small">Pages: content = quick and easy access for visitors</p>
<p class="box--small">'Static' page - term refers to Navigation</p>
<p>Pages: can contain interactive content and media</p>
<aside class="notes">Pages are for content that you want your visitors to always find quick and easy. The industry term for this 'always available' content via Pages is 'static'. However static refers to the navigation - you can include interactive dynamic content and media in your Pages.</aside>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Let's Create our First Page!</h3>
<h4 class="green">We'll start with our About page</h4>
<div class="box">
<p class="blue">Select Pages -> Add New</p>
<p>Enter 'About' in the Page Title</p>
<p>Add some text about you, your company, or site</p>
<p>
<strong>Link:</strong>
<a href ="http://www.blindtextgenerator.com/lorem-ipsum" target="_blank">Lorem Placeholder Text Tool for Us Web Devs</a>
</p><br/>
<p>Now Let's Experiment with</p>
<p class="green">Visual v Text, Save Draft, Preview, Publish,</p>
<p>and other Page options while we're here</p>
<p class="pink"><small>Copy your About content into Notepad or Text edit. We're going to use this again.</small></p>
<aside class="notes">To demonstrate this static concept and the difference between Pages and Posts - lets create an About Page in your new site. We'll also copy this About content into your first Post to compare. We'll create more Pages, after we've experimented with the About content in both a page and post. You'll see the
difference in how the Navigation is delivered. Open Notepad or Text Edit. Copy and paste your About content into your text editor and save for use in a comparison Post.</aside>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Let's Setup Our Main Nav</h3>
<h4 class="green">Open Appearance -> Menus</h4>
<div class="box">
<p class="blue">Enter 'Main Navigation' in Menu Name</p>
<p class="box--small">Click 'Create Menu'</p>
<p class="box--small"><span class="green">Check √</span>'Automatically add new...'</p>
<p class="box--small"><span class="green">Check √</span> 'Top primary menu'</p>
<p class="box--small">Now Click <span class="blue">'Save Menu'</span></p>
<p><a href ="http://codex.wordpress.org/Appearance_Menus_Screen"target="_blank">More info on creating Menus in your Dashboard</a></p>
</div>
<aside class="notes">To demonstrate this static Navigation concept and the difference between Pages and Posts - lets start by setting up the main
navigation by opening Appearance, Menus.
Check out the 'Pages' - 'Add to Menu' interface in the left column.
You should see the new About Page you just created and the WP generated
Sample Page in this column. Check your new About Page, then Add to Menu.
There are two tabs at the top of your Menus interface. We're going to open
and look at Manage Locations later in our Workshop after we've created more
content. Be sure to save before you leave the Menus interface.
</aside>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Now Let's Create a Few Posts!</h3>
<p><span class="pink">Posts Navigation:</span> Based on Categories</p>
<p><span class="pink">Order of Appearance:</span> Is by posting date</p>
<div class="box">
<h4 class="green">1st Post:</h4>
<p><small>Copy 'About' content into a new 'About' Post</small></p>
<h4 class="blue">2nd Post:</h4>
<p><small>Create another post with Lorem title and content</small></p>
</div>
<p class="copy--small">Posts->Add New->Enter title->Paste Content->
<span class="blue">Publish</span></p>
<p class="green">View your site</p>
<aside class="notes">Posts are for content that you want your visitors to check
in regularly to view new information. As you create new Posts, earlier Posts
are moved down the viewing hierarchy, so content like your About info is
better served in a Page that will always be available in your main navigation.</aside>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Clean up and Design Time!</h3>
<p class="copy--small">GoTo: Posts->All Posts->Hover Title->Select Edit</p>
<hr>
<p><span class="blue">Create some Categories!</span></p>
<p class="green">Assign your Posts to Categories</p><br />
<p><span class="pink">Add Tags:</span> Based on topic</p>
<p><span class="pink">Add Featured Image:</span> It's Demo/Assist time!</p>
<div class="box--small">
<h4 class="green">Edit Your About Post: <br />
<small>change the title/content to repurpose this post </small></h4>
<h4 class="blue">Edit Your Lorem placeholder: <br />
<small>leave as is or change and repurpose</small></h4>
<h4 class="green">Create more Posts and Pages!</h4>
</div>
<aside class="notes">Post Categories are super important to setup and
assign. Your Categories appear as the Posts Navigation items in the Sidebar
of your site. You might have noticed there isn't an option for Posts to
be displayed in full-width like Pages. This is because the sidebar houses
your navigation scheme for the date driven content you create in Posts.
It's demo and assist time.
</aside>
</section>
<section>
<h3>Q&A</h3>
<h4 class="green box--small">#Posts and #Pages<br /><small>What's the difference?</small></h4>
<h4 class="blue">What do you like best about WP so far?</h4>
<div class="box">
<h3>Assistance Time & Extra Credit!</h3>
<div class="box">
<p>Hop into Appearance->Themes->Add New<br />
<span class="blue">Install 2-4 new Themes -> you like =D </span></p>
<p class="green">Activate one of them</p>
<p><span class="pink">View what you're creating in different Themes!</p>
</div>
<aside class="notes">Now that you have created a few Posts and Pages,
you can hop into Appearance -> Themes. Install and Activate one of the
other free Themes to see how easy it is to change the appearance of your site.
Your homework is to have more fun creating content and exploring the
free Themes that are available in the Themes interface of your WP Dashboard.
We'll resume our next session with Theme customizations and learn how to use Widgets and Plugins to tune your site with the goal of attracting and interacting with visitors.
