Google is attracted to websites with changing content and thanks to Content Management Systems, you don't have to be a technical guru to create new content, modify it and remove it from your website. There's no longer a reason to risk having search engines pass you by because you have old content at your site.

During this meeting, Jeff VanDrimmelen, a web developer and instructional technologist at UNC-CH, will explain the how-tos of keeping your website up to date. He'll discuss Joomia, Plone, Drupal, and WordPress, using WordPress for his examples.

 You'll leave the meeting knowing:

— What a CMS is and how it can benefit you

— The top four CMS's

— Plugins/Addons for social media, marketing, multimedia and more.

— Tips for getting started and troubleshooting

 — Hosting requirements and Help Forums.

We'll also recognize ICA-member web designers who work with CMS.

Come and bring a friend. As always, networking and complimentary heavy hors d'oeuvres begin at 6:30 p.m. Jeff's presentation will be from 7:00-8:30 p.m.
