I just finished customizing the otherwise bland WordPress theme (Impulse from WPZoom.com) and SawtAlNiswa.com is looking good! Also check out my first post there, a photo I took in Hamra of a new slimming capsule for women called “Starvex.” True (and sad) story.

As you know, I am a little obsessed with WordPress and will be giving workshops and tutorials to friends & fellow activists. As part of building a Gender & IT program at @Nasawiya, the feminist collective, we are kicking off this Saturday, February 6 with a WordPress training. It’s free, you can learn more & sign up here.

Truth be told, the purpose of the training is to upgrade the nasawiya.org website to wordpress

The training is will take place at the IndyACT office in Mar Mikhael (call 01-447192 for directions) with a wireless connection for those of you who want to try out features during the workshop. To register, please email farah@nasawiya.org with a little bit about you. We have 15 places available and priority goes to young women and young activists of both or neither gender.
