Testing lesson plans

• Intro to CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. (@kdrewien)
  Kathy reported back on testing Into to CSS at a MeetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area.: “Feedback from my colleagues afterward suggested a more thorough description of what CSS is before the walkthrough. The walkthrough took a lot longer than I anticipated even after eliminating one of the exercises. It took 45 minutes to get everyone logged in to multisiteMultisite Multisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create a network of sites on a single WordPress installation. Available since WordPress version 3.0, Multisite is a continuation of WPMU or WordPress Multiuser project. WordPress MultiUser project was discontinued and its features were included into WordPress core.https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network. Practice Site Demo and 2 hours for exercises”
