In this workshop, we learnt all things WordPress with Robert Skinn, a multi-disiplinary designer focused on website design in ‘A Fine Studio.’ As this was the first time meeting Robert, he gave us a brief show of some of his work, as well as a few tips and tricks he felt were good to share. One of which that I thought was good to note was that of Robert’s ‘Tool Kit Must Have’s!’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Described as a ‘hosting’ sight, meaning something in which allows us to host our own servers for various websites (such as the NUA websites), this platform is a cheap and comprehensive way of securing ones own server, inclusive of its own security and maintenance. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n Whilst I have never looked too much into code, it would not be something I would be against trying – and so I was very glad when Robert mentioned a system in which could be used by beginners to create and develop their own code, helping learning in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Free to use and supported on all platforms, MSVC allows for 36 different languages, all with a debugger, making it one of the few platforms allowing for nearly all coding languages. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n Built very similarly to the Adobe suit, the Affinity Group apps allow for the same outcomes at a lower price, much more affordable for designers within their own freelance work, at a one time payment, as opposed to Adobe’s monthly bill. Affinity offers Photo, Designer and Publisher. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We began by looking at different plugins, and a few different things that Robert thought of as important to the world of WordPress, such as security, image size reducers and different themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We had a play around with different blocks and the way that they move, as well as looking at a little bit of code behind the blocks, suggesting how they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this workshop, we learnt all things WordPress with Robert Skinn, a multi-disiplinary designer focused on website design in ‘A Fine Studio.’ As this was the first time meeting Robert, he gave us a brief show of some of his work, as well as a few tips and tricks he felt were good to share. … <\/p>\nPlaying with WordPress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
