Its simplest plugins consist of a single function and some header data, and anyone with determination and a grasp of programming basics can create their own.<\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s a gap between mastering technical essentials and acquiring a degree of wisdom about what makes for a successful plugin or theme.

Either you believed its release would never actually happen, you thought there would be time to learn about it once it was out (and didn\u2019t), or you didn\u2019t really pay attention to what Gutenberg was and how it would impact you and your work until it was released this past December. Now you\u2019re worried because you feel behind professionally and you\u2019re not sure how to fill the gaps in your Gutenberg knowledge. Most importantly, you think: are you too behind to catch up? Do you need to find a different career? A different content management system?<\/p>\n<p>The short answer is: no. Gutenberg is here to stay and, just like anything else, you can learn what you need to learn in order to continue your work with WordPress. We\u2019ll talk about creating your own personal curriculum to \u201clearn Gutenberg\u201d by working through how to identify the gaps in our own knowledge and then how to identify resources to fill those gaps. In doing so, we\u2019ll cover the basics of what Gutenberg is and how incorporating its existence into our workflows will impact different types of experts including content managers, project managers, designers, and developers.<\/p>\n<p>As a case study, we\u2019ll look at how I (a developer) \u201ccaught up\u201d on Gutenberg after a 2018 where I didn\u2019t have the time to focus on the ever-changing landscape of the Gutenberg project until right around its release.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-772\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tIntroduction to the WordPress Database\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"v-bXCw8T75-1\" class=\"video-player\"><iframe title='VideoPress Video Player' aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='640' height='360' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/bXCw8T75?hd=1&amp;cover=1&amp;loop=0&amp;autoPlay=0&amp;permalink=1&amp;muted=0&amp;controls=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;useAverageColor=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/s0.wp.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/video\/assets\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js'><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n<p>All of the data for your WordPress site is stored in the database.

As we enter phase two of the Gutenberg project, we find that change has begun for widgets and even menus. While the thought of building our own editor blocks from scratch may be too daunting for many of us to want to undertake, WordPress delivers React to us in a way that allows us to add our own flavor to existing blocks. React is designed with modular units for easy reuse, and in this talk we&#8217;ll review key components of blocks and different ways to enhance or redefine blocks using the set of filters available in the WordPress namespace.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-517\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tCreate Paid Content for Brands (without needing a large following)\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"v-x96hCE6l-1\" class=\"video-player\"><iframe title='VideoPress Video Player' aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='640' height='360' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/x96hCE6l?hd=1&amp;cover=1&amp;loop=0&amp;autoPlay=0&amp;permalink=1&amp;muted=0&amp;controls=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;useAverageColor=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/s0.wp.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/video\/assets\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js'><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019ve been blogging for a decade, or you\u2019re just starting out&#8230; creating great content for brands is one of the best ways to make money. Throughout this session, you\u2019ll discover ways to use your own skill-sets to bring value to brands, regardless of what your own personal following might be! You are able to provide value whether your content lives on your own platforms, the brand\u2019s platforms, or both; and it\u2019s your job to get creative with how you package your value. My goal is to answer the following questions&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>What services should I offer?<br>\nChances are that your blogging experience has turned you into a one-stop-shop media company! And there are many ways that you can bundle those skills into services that companies are willing to pay for. We will discuss a variety of specific and marketable services as well as ways to figure out which services will be the best fit for you personally.<\/p>\n<p>How can I market those services?<br>\nOnce you have a clear idea of what you\u2019d like to provide to brands, you need to convince them that you are the best person for the job! The good news? There are endless ways to market your services, and we will dive into various strategies that you can start implementing right away. The bad news? They all take time, effort, and consistency. There are clear paths to success, but there aren\u2019t any shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p>Who should I reach out to?<br>\nThis part of the process is so crucial! After putting in so much time and effort into the services and the marketing strategy, we are just ready to throw it out into the world and see what happens. Unfortunately, if you don\u2019t have a massive following already, this method won\u2019t get you very far. Instead, we want to be strategic about finding new direct contacts that are a great fit for what we are offering. Again, this is time-consuming (and oftentimes brain-numbing), but it works!<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of this process is that any blogger can follow it and find a new source of income. Once we start thinking of ourselves as mini media companies, a whole new world opens up!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wcorg-session-848\" class=\"wcorg-session\" >\n\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow to Use WordPress to Build Your Nonprofit Website\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wcorg-session-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"v-0vYkX6fK-1\" class=\"video-player\"><iframe title='VideoPress Video Player' aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='640' height='360' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/0vYkX6fK?hd=1&amp;cover=1&amp;loop=0&amp;autoPlay=0&amp;permalink=1&amp;muted=0&amp;controls=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;useAverageColor=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/s0.wp.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/video\/assets\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js'><\/script><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The number one goal of any nonprofit website is to help the organization meet its mission.

With a few key plugins, WordPress becomes an amazing information management tool.  This presentation will demonstrate how a real life need to manage associated data was modeled in WordPress.  Presentation topics will highlight techniques for capture of associated data, how to present data on the Front End, and some valuable plugins to simplify some setup tasks.
