Prompt Ed – Our free WordPress taster workshops (London edition)
Prompt Ed – Our free WordPress taster workshops (London edition)
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know we’re enthusiastic WordPress users at Prompt (and if you haven’t, well, we are). We’re also a nice team and like to share what we know – whether it’s our free ‘WordPress on Wednesday’ tips (sign up and test them out), or hosting free events. Last week we held two free events at our London offices over in sunny Shoreditch.
The event was led by senior WordPress coach, Max. As our free events attract a range of WordPress enthusiasts including absolute beginners, Max started with an overview of what WordPress is and how it works, then went on a tour of the WordPress Administration Panel, covering topics and specifics including themes, categories, tags, the differences between WordPress’ text and visual editors, as well as touching on more detailed subjects like featured images, post types and advanced image settings.
If you missed these sessions, be sure to sign up for future free WordPress workshops. The next events will take place in Boston, Massachusetts on 13 February at 8:30am, 10:30am, and 12:30pm ET.
Keen to learn more about WordPress? Please sign up for our free weekly WordPress tips to learn great tips about plugins, using tags, optimising posts, shortcodes and more.

Tech PR viewpoint: Reacting to breaking news
Tech PR viewpoint: Reacting to breaking news
As a tech PR you can take a yardstick to PR success in many ways, but one of the most tangible, understood and demanded is press coverage. This means is why media relations is a key part of our remit for many of our PR clients.
There are a number of ways to approach, talk to and engage with the press, driven by a range of PR activities that generate press coverage: news releases, press tours, bylined articles and reacting to breaking news. For each of these to be done well, it’s important to promote a relevant message and position, defined audiences, experienced spokespeople, and a strong understanding of the market. But when it comes to reacting to breaking news, speed is also crucial.
Last week the opinions and comments from one of our US enterprise security clients were published in USA Today (twice) talking about the Target data breach and advising on corporate cybersecurity; covered by CNBC talking about the security pressure on the retail industry; then shared tips for all Target customers with CNN before talking about the rising impact of a retail breach that may indicate deeper hacks into systems with CSO.
Talking about measurement, consider the audiences these publications reach — the breadth of a newspaper with a circulation of 27,000 and a news site that has 160,272 unique visitors and viewers, then the relevance for a security vendor of publication such as CSO.
In each case, the opportunity was the sum of a great spokesperson, relevant press contacts and a speedy response.
Some tech PR tips to reacting to breaking news:
• Only comment on breaking news that is relevant to your business, and on which you can share a genuine, valid and strong viewpoint
• Understand the news from the perspective of the reporter and their readers or viewers: this news isn’t about you, your company or your products — it’s about your market and the need to help people understand or process a situation
• Be relevant and concise — reporters are busy and don’t need a marketing pitch
• Be ready to demonstrate your expertise. In this case, the team here at Prompt PR are lucky to work with masters of IT security who have decades of genuine real-world insight and experience to share
• Be quick — news cycles are short, and you need to be able to respond to breaking news with speed, and to have spokespeople available. Want some more advice on how to react to breaking news and engage with the press?
