Session 1: This week let’s begin to explore WordPress themes and ways in which they can be manipulated through the WordPress administrative area, and with changes to code associated with the theme. Here are some of the topics we’ll address:

1. Choosing and installing new themes
2. Modifying themes with the Appearance features
3. Making changes to styles.css
4. Using theme functions

Session 2: By now most of you will have setup your own web hosting with an appropriate domain name and WordPress installation. For those of you who have yet to do this we can setup personal instances of WordPress within our dim358.com domain. Let’s look at doing this through the “one click” method available in the BlueHost Control Panel.

Session 3: Review artist statement rough drafts.
