Warming up to WordCamp

We have six weeks to go before the big event of the 2019 Dayton WordCamp for WordPress at the Dayton Metro Library in Dayton, Ohio.

Tonight we had a warmup talk called “Free Resources for Learning WordPress” by Tim O’Haver at the Dayton WordPress meetup group.

Tim dove into the ocean of free resources for learning WordPress that you can find online.

There are tickets still available for this year’s WordCamp that happens on March 1st and 2nd. Go to our tickets page and get your ticket for this fun event.

It will be a great gathering.
