Message From The President For March

We had our board meeting yesterday and we got quite a bit accomplished. As you can tell we have added the buttons above to allow you to make reservations for dinner and to pay via paypal.

We are trying out a new home for the Guild Meetings – The Indianapolis Propylaeum. The venue is private, we are the only ones there. It is also centrally located, has private parking, and the food is awesome. It also fits our budget.

There was a mistake – I thought that we didn’t need to make meal choices, we actually do, so use the button above to make your reservation.

Over the next couple of weeks we will be updating the website again – no major changes, just more and better stuff. Remember to send me images so we can start doing galleries.

Program info:

Most photographers who have even a passing interest in their online presence have heard of WordPress, the popular “blog” platform. If you think it’s just a blog, you’re missing out – it would be much more accurate to think of WordPress as a complete solution for your entire website. An increasing number of photographers (as well as many businesses in other industries) are turning to WordPress to be the backbone of their online presence, replacing their current websites with ones that are more secure, easier to manage, and easier to update with new content and features.

During this program, you can learn:
• Just what is WordPress, anyways? And how do I set it up?
• Why our current Flash-based websites are quickly becoming a relic of the past.
• What are “themes” and how do I find one that works for me and my business?
• What is “open source” software? Why would I want to use it?
• What are “plugins”, and how do I use them in my website? Can you tell us some good ones?
• How do I navigate the administrative “back end” of the site and work with my content?
• Easy to implement backup solutions that protects your content from data loss.
• How do I move my current site to WordPress?
• How do I integrate my WordPress site with Facebook, Twitter and Google+?
• Why a WordPress site can be very good for search engine rankings.
• What if I don’t think I can handle this by myself?
• Watch as we build a new, custom site in real time!
