00:22:22	Lawrence Patterson:	Chris can't be fired, he's indispensable :)
00:24:13	Chris Taylor:	I spent my career on the motto "Never be indispensable"
00:25:25	Chris Taylor:	If anyone has questions, you can pose them in Chat. Or we will open the microphones later.
00:34:39	eod@ncf.ca:	No problem Alan - !
00:49:03	Michele Le Saux:	is there an option to unsubscribe once subscribed?
00:49:59	Coreen:	How long has wordpress been around? can you set up a blog in any language?
00:50:47	Chris Taylor:	@Michele - yes, you can unsubscribe at any time. I am pretty sure every posting that gets sent out has a link to unsubscribe
00:51:21	Coreen:	When looking for your blog, where does it appear in your search results. Does Wordpress control the tags?
00:51:49	Chris Taylor:	WordPress started in 2003
00:53:08	Chris Taylor:	By far the easiest to find a blog is to have the owner give you the URL. While Wordpress blogs will show up eventually in a general Google search, it might take some time
00:53:35	Micheline:	How do you save your web page?
00:56:43	Jocelyn Doire:	here's a page for multi-language: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-create-a-multilingual-wordpress-site/
00:56:46	Jocelyn Doire:	There are several WordPress plugins that you can use to translate your website into multiple languages.
01:04:30	Alan German:	There doesn't seem to be an actual French version of WordPress.  As Joc's link suggests, you can set the language to use.  See also  https://wordpress.com/support/language-settings/
01:05:21	Chris Taylor:	@Michele - I just confirmed (I am subscribed to Alan's Linux North") that every posting that gets sent out from the blog includes an unsubscribe link
01:05:35	Mike Pereira:	Cringe - counters... use Google Analytics instead for real stats, or another stats package provided by the ISP.
01:06:41	Alan German:	Wordpress is a content management system (CMS).  It stores the information that you enter about web pages in an on-line database and serves up pages as dynamic HTML.  Consequently, you don't save an HTML file as you would if you used a stand-alone HTML editor and uploaded the file by FTP to a hosting web server.
01:09:14	Alan German:	To unsubscribe from a WordPress blog, use the link at  the bottom of any E-mail received.  , wordpress.com/forums/topic/unsubscribe-from-wordpress
01:10:51	Coreen:	Are the changes tracked as history somewhere?
01:12:21	Alan German:	WordPress maintains a "history" from which you can restore previous versions of a page
01:13:06	Coreen:	IS there a virtual assistant for wordPress? or Live Help?
01:15:05	Alan German:	There is a Help section but it provides static pages on specific topics
01:31:31	Bob Herres:	Is there anyway to save the entire site on your PC?
01:31:37	Coreen:	Brigette did you choose the fonts and colours
01:32:06	Glen:	Can you import javascript and css files inot Wordpress.com, Wordpress.org and / or Elementor?
01:32:42	Glen:	Can you use Google Drive as a host for wordpress.org?
01:33:01	eod@ncf.ca:	Great presentations ! With this info I can see myself setting up a webpage/website.  Thank you very much.
01:33:39	eod@ncf.ca:	Much easier to use the editors than typing in html.
01:34:21	Mike Pereira:	Thanks for the great presentation.  It's a nice CMS and easy for most people to use w/o coding knowledge.
01:34:31	Mike Pereira:	To save it as HTML use HTTracker
01:35:33	Bob Herres:	Re: Great presentation -Agreed thank you, Thank you Brigitte &  Alan -Very interesting stuff
01:35:37	Micheline:	Have you ever looked at theHTML generated dynamically by the CMS? I did this with one of the WYSIWYG editors - the resulting HTML is enormously complicated, worse than what Word produces.
01:35:42	Mike Pereira:	https://www.httrack.com/
01:38:11	Mike Pereira:	Backs up HTML
01:38:30	Mike Pereira:	Freeware to capture a website and save it as HTML (even from CMS) and save locally.
01:38:47	Mike Pereira:	I use it at work for emergency backups of our intranet
01:40:50	Glen:	Is there a limit on the storage space for the free version of Wordpress?
01:42:48	Mike Pereira:	The back-end HTML coding is not bad if it allows accessibility, avoids being redundant, is compatable with the major browsers, and is mobile friendly.
01:42:53	Coreen:	Informative and useful presentation Thanks
01:43:10	Micheline:	I use HTML for my browser home page.
01:43:35	eod@ncf.ca:	With that many blogs, I guess it would be years before Google finds you.
01:44:54	Micheline:	National Capital Freenet provides free hosting. My 2007 blog is still there.
01:44:57	Mike Pereira:	Search Engine Optimisation, key words, and placement in key topic pages from others more popular than you (inbound links).  Also crossposts from Social Media that have traffic.
01:45:28	Mark Cayer:	My Daughter is using WordPress for her website regarding Whole Food Plant Based eating for health and wellness.
She is not very computer literate regarding web page coding.
She is "Plant Fit Meg".
01:45:55	Jocelyn Doire:	you can submit your site to google https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/submit-url

Alan and Brigitte, Great presentations.
01:47:13	Mike Pereira:	The best driver to your website is your content.  If you have original meaningful content, if people are interested in what you talk about, if you keep it new and fresh, you will get more visitors. Other things such as design and layout are secondary to content.
