Creating zines with TextPattern
This workshop will demonstrate the power and ease of use of Textpattern, a free and open-source content management system that is highly flexible and versatile, which makes it suitable for all kinds of websites, even weblogs. The demonstration will take you step-by-step through the installation, customisation and more advanced features of this web application, enabling you to effortlessly create dynamic websites that are easily updatable, standards-compliant, RSS-able and even multi-lingual. No prior HTML/CSS skills are necessary but a basic understanding of web-design/publishing concepts would be beneficial to follow the workshop.
