WebDesign.com was just added to the showcase at PodsCMS.org. We use Pods to power several parts of the site to make it super easy for the admin team to add and organize live webinars and videos, creating course catalog additions and changes on the fly – with one edit Pods dynamically updates everything . With some fancy footwork by Benjamin Bradley, the Professor, each specific course url brings up the video replay, course materials, and the integrated discussion forum.

On the final day of the 12 Days of WebDesign.com, we’re giving you a whopper of a webinar! In this webinar you’ll learn how to build apps in Facebook, build page tabs in Facebook, and integrate Facebook functionality into iThemes Builder.
(Perfect timing, too, since this is the Builder Birthday Week…)

The gem in this is that you’ll learn how to build out sections of Facebook, but power them through iThemes Builder, so that when you update your WordPress site, it will translate to pages and apps on Facebook.
