I attended a VANCOUVER version of WordPress Camp....an evening where speakers and audience alike basically enthused about all things WordPress.
Now....I am speaking at the NEXT WordPress Camp...RIGHT BEFORE BLOGHER!!!
This is how popular blogging and all it's permutations is out WEST!
Do you blog?
Every 20 seconds a new WordPress blog comes online. WordPress is the
most used blogging software in the World with millions of users across
the globe. It makes creating and managing a blog easy with an intuitive
user interface.
This event is for anyone that has an interest in blogging and
WordPress in general. Beginner's will learn more about what blogging is
and what WordPress software can do. Expert WordPress users will be able
to network and learn from other expert bloggers.
