Evo’11 Update
I recently completed two sessions at Evo’11 – one about Beginning WordPress and another about Intermediate WordPress (both included some discussion on html and css) If you were in attendance, thank you so much for coming! I know everyone was asking for copies of the slides, and I have them here. (Scroll down to the bottom). I also have all the links referenced in the slides, as well as links to code snippets used in the slides.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. You can also find me here: scriptygoddess.com and @theworkingmom
