Wordpress Day Camp

After attending the Kyle Chamber of Commerce Ambassador B.A.S.H. and talking to some of the people that were at the event, I got the feeling that there’s a need for someone to teach people how to make websites on their own. What I’m thinking of doing, is hosting a 1 day Wordpress Camp to teach people about Wordpress and how to use it.
