WP Glasgow MeetUp online

25th April 2020 by Glasgowapuu

Yes we’re going to be online again. And keeping it simple

This time you are all invited to take a tour of Tim Nash (WordPress Platform Lead at 34SP.com)’s personal site.

Find out what Plugins he uses, his Theme, workflow. From how he publishes a post to keeping things updated and fast. Tim will spill the beans over a virtual cup of tea on all the secrets to his site.

There should be plenty of time for questions.

Come on! You’ve spent lots of time looking over the shoulders of online celebs and journos to see what their houses are like… here’s a chance to have a good ol’ nose around Tim’s website and to see how it’s put together.
The online link will be published on the day for all those who RSVP. Come and join us. This is ‘back to basics’ WordPress so there is always lots to learn.

WP Glasgow MeetUp — online

24th March 2020 by Glasgowapuu

24 March 6:30pm sharp.
WP Glasgow has its first online MeetUp and, as it’s just been pulled together at the last minute, it should be interesting! Derek York will provide an introduction to CSS — what it is and how to make use of it on your WordPress website.

It turns out that “May you live in interesting times” is not an ancient curse at all but, instead, a bit of 19th Century fiction. But hey, what are these times if not ‘interesting’? So as I am writing this, we are putting together a MeetUp, using Zoom and it might just be a little bit rough around the edges.

I guess we are all going to have to get used to more online events in the immediate future. One-to-ones are OK and so, too, are the ‘chalk and talk’ presentation type. How one chairs a virtual meeting, however, particularly one in which many people might want to speak, is a new experience for me. So you are more than welcome to join the WP Glasgow MeetUp… just don’t build up your expectations too high for tonight as I bumble around the tech. and try and ensure that everyone gets a say!

WordCamp Glasgow 2020

27th January 2020 by Glasgowapuu

Well it’s happening! WordCamp Glasgow 2020 will take place on Saturday 8 February 2020. This is the first ever Glasgow WordCamp and will be the first held anywhere in Europe in 2020.

Glasgowapuu will be at WordCamp Glasgow

What is a WordCamp?

What a good question. I’m glad you asked.
A WordCamp is a full day (or two) of all things WordPress. It takes the form of a conference, with a number of speakers through the day but with plenty of opportunities to mix and mingle with a wide variety of WordPress lovers. These may just be beginners or they may be real experts. Everybody comes to WordCamp!

WordCamp Glasgow 2020 will take place in a new venue for us:

WordCamp Glasgow 2020 will be at 103 Trongate Glasgow

Project Ability
103 Trongate
Glasgow
G1 5HD

It’s on the the third floor but is fully accessible and a spacious studio area with space for over 100 attendees. Tickets for the full day are only £20 and we would obviously love you to join us. The ticket price includes entrance to the WordCamp and access to all the talks, plus an excellent lunch, teas, coffees, a t-shirt and an invitation to join us at our after-party which will include (some) drink and more food.

So make a note in your diaries. WordCamp Glasgow 2020 is here soon and we would love you to be there.

The Glasgow WP MeetUp Team have been working hard to bring together an exceptional line-up of speakers for the WordCamp. Be inspired! Immerse yourself in WordPress for a day. You know you should be putting more time into your blog or website. Now is the time to do it. Some tickets still available. Be quick!

And of course you are welcome to attend our regular monthly MeetUps. The next one is scheduled for 24 March. Speaker yet to be announced…. I may call in a few favours at WordCamp!

Elementor Pro and me

19th November 2019 by Glasgowapuu

A designer’s perspective

Next up is a WordPress Talk about the
Elementor Pro page builder
featuring Angela Wassell on
Tuesday, 26th November 2019 from 18:00 until 20:30

Scottish Youth Theatre
The Old Sheriff Court, 105 Brunswick Street,
Glasgow, G1 1TF

Elementor Pro is one of the main players in the Page Builder market. If you came to our Beaver Builder presentation back in September, here is a chance to make a comparison. If you didn’t, then it’s an opportunity to see how Elementor is being used in the real world and ask Angela Wassell some questions about it.

Angela Wassell is a freelance graphic designer who has been using Elementor professionally for a while and will talk us through her experiences with it.

Register now on the WP Glasgow MeetUp page. Nothing formal but at least it gives us an idea of how many sandwiches to order!

We look forward to seeing you here.

Best wishes from Glasgowapuu

WordPress Glasgow Community Workshop, April 2018

Got a WordPress website that’s bugging you? Do you need some WordPress advice and guidance? Come and meet the WordPress professionals who may be able to help you or point you in the right direction.

Please let us know that you are coming via the Meetup page. That way we know how many sandwiches to order.

Professionals are welcome too!

If you are a WordPress professional and can spare a couple of hours every 3 months, please come along to give some guidance to people who are learning or are stuck and need advice. The WordPress Workshop & HelpDesk relies on people like you giving their time and knowledge. It’s also a great opportunity to increase your own WP skills.

WPGlasgow Community workshop + Gutenberg, January 2018

Please note that the organising team expects all advice to be given for free and in good faith but, if something is too big to fix there and then the WordPress professional will have the right to say so.

WordPress Networking

A meeting point for WordPress developers and web designers looking for their next project or collaboration and for people who have a project and would like to meet a WordPress professional.

Belated apologies for not having this meeting back in July. The planning gods were against us and it was never going to work out. Many thanks for your patience.

The WordPress Workshop & Helpdesk Glasgow is a regular Meetup organised by volunteers and supported by WordPress and other sponsors.

Using Page Builders

16th September 2019 by Glasgowapuu

If you are using (or thinking of using) Page Builders for your website, then this is the talk for you.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Page Builders — a user’s perspective

Tuesday, Sep 24, 2019, 6:30 PM

Check out this Meetup Group →

So far, Page Builders have stayed ahead of the game in responding to the changes that WordPress has made to its main editing tool. The introduction of Gutenberg has moved WordPress in the right direction but the jury is still out in deciding whether the Page Builders will need to treat the Block Editor (Gutenberg) as direct competition.

Any software that generates its own code risks being ‘top heavy’ which might have an impact on your SEO but that may be outweighed by the simple convenience of being able to tailor your own Page and Post layouts. In the end that is a comparison only you can make for your particular circumstances. At some point you have to make your own decisions… advice like this can only help you so much and then it is down to you, your research and your decision-making. Good luck!
