Notes de l'éditeur
Grandparents bought them
Put in the tape
Push play
But they were often afraid.
Kids figured it out
Just push the buttons.
No PB&J sandwiches in the slot
I want to convince you that you can do this
Use word,.. Not afraid of the internet?
I know you want to do this or you wouldn't be here.
Look
Apple’s whole deal is make it easy for people to figure out.
It can be intimidating.
Lou.. Story
People are swayed by their beliefs
Kids believe they don’t like veggies.
They BELIEVE it.
Adults don’t want to admit a fear.
Heck Babies can do it
I must be really stupid!
Let me say it again.
I want to convince you that you can do this.
So here you are at the beginning of WordCamp

You say, what me? I don’t know anything.
Every new person who asks a question forces somebody else to think about something..
Maybe in a different way than they did before.
I can’t really teach you much in 40 minutes … You won’t remember what you don’t own.
You hear it.. You think you know it.. But until you use it .. You won’t own it.
I want to set you on the right path
Core is the collection of files that make WordPress work. It gets updated by the leadership team. And you should not mess around in it. Either you’ll break things or things will break the next time you update to a newer version of WordPress
Plugins supply functionality not part of core, most likely because it’s something that probably isn’t needed by everybody. I use a plugin to categorize my media file. If you only have a few images, you don’t need it.
Widgets are little bits of code that do specific things. Often they are made by plugins. But not always. Give you a little bit of control over your layout.
The widget screen in your theme will list a pretty extensive list of pre made widgets. Say you want to add a list of most recent posts in your sidebar. There’s a standard widget for that.
Then depending on your theme, you can add functionality that would happen in specific places on your site. Maybe on all pages, maybe on only some. Sidebars, footers, again depending on your theme.
