EXTENDING WORDPRESS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT & CONTENT CROSS-DISTRIBUTION | BE3DESIGNS & CODEWORD MEDIA DESIGN

WordPress is about more than just blogging. It is a powerful, open-source CMS that can be extended through libraries of freely available or low-cost plugins, tools and themes to create almost any kind of digital web content imaginable. Owing to its user-friendly nature and extensibility, WordPress also provides an excellent platform for cross-distribution of your website and social media content to engage your audience. In other words, you can promote your social media channels and content via your WordPress website, and you can also promote your website content as part of your social media presence to create more on-site engagement. This session will cover key concepts related to content sharing and cross-distribution between WordPress and popular social media channels like Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest and more. The session will also provide useful information on real-world tools and resources – such as plugins, developer frameworks and pre-packaged themes – that will help you make the most of your WordPress website combined with social media in an over-arching digital marketing strategy.
