I was just at the Interlink conference<\/a> in Vancouver, Canada. I did my first ever workshop: a 3 1\/2 hour romp I called “A Web Designer’s Workflow”. We literally went from nothing (creating a folder on the desktop) to a totally deployed website<\/a>. We covered a lot of ground so I thought I’d write up some notes. And hey, why not blog it eh?<\/p>\n Annnnnd that’s all I can remember. YEAH. That’s a lot of stuff. I probably should have trimmed it down a bit and focused more on the content (both on the fake site and of the workshop itself). But hey it was my first ever and i had absolutely no idea what I was doing (sorry about that).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A bunch of notes from a workshop I just did in Vancouver, Canada at the Interlink conference. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"sig_custom_text":"","sig_image_type":"featured-image","sig_custom_image":0,"sig_is_disabled":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"c2c_always_allow_admin_comments":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":19731,"url":"https:\/\/css-tricks.com\/workshop-notes-from-incontrol-hawaii\/","url_meta":{"origin":17119,"position":0},"title":"Workshop Notes from InControl Hawaii","date":"January 7, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"In which I go over many of the important parts of a workshop I did for a small room of folks in Honolulu, Hawaii.
