May 3, 2018 — This session will provide you with some great tips and tricks for you to make working with WordPress even easier. From changing the number of posts on the dashboard page, to adding a target to link to on the menu dashboard, there are many things that are easy to accomplish — if only you know where to look. Not only are there screen options on almost every dashboard page, but there are help pulldowns, too, helping to answer questions before you might even need to turn to help in a forum. We will also cover shortcuts for use in the editor window, and a quick and easy way to save your favorite plugins to find at a click to upload to your site.

April 27, 2018 — Dre Armeda, veteran and successful businessman, will give WordCamp San Diego’s keynote talk on Sunday April 15th at 11:00am. This talk will allow you to not only listen to his experiences, but also dive into your own, as you experience your own transition.

In his words:
