If any of you are in or near Austin, TX this Wednesday you should definitely check out the one-day Blogging Enterprise conference on November 2nd at the University of Texas. It looks like it’s going to be a great program, and I’ll be speaking on “Sorting Out RSS Software, Tools, and Technology” at 11:15 AM.…
Myself and a few other WordPress folks will be spending the weekend at Webzine 2005 here in San Francisco. It has shaped up to be a really amazing conference that embraces the indy roots of what we do and I’ve been looking forward to it for a while now. Best of all, it’s affordable! Tickets…
What do Boeing, Microsoft, and WordPress have in common? Not much, except we’re all sponsors of the Blog Business Summit taking place August 17–19 in San Francisco. (Hope you weren’t expecting a better punchline.) That’s nice and all, but what does that mean? It means that you get $300 off registration just for being a…
It appears that the inimitable Ryan Boren is going to be in Northern California this week so it seemed like a perfect opportunity for a WordPress meetup and geek dinner. Although Ryan is the other main developer of WordPress and we’ve worked together for a long while now, we’ve never actually met in person so…
July 23-30 is WordPress Backup Week. The WordPress Forum and Codex are working together to remind you to backup your WordPress site and database and eat your veggies. Even if your host does it (or should be doing it) no one was ever hurt by too many backups. It should be done on a regular…
It seems like just a few days ago I was blogging about hitting 50,000 downloads and now we’re a few days away from doubling that. Seems like the perfect opportunity to throw a party for WordPress users in San Francisco’s Mission district. Scott Beale of Laughing Squid has arranged for us to have the Odeon…
Tuesday, Feburary 15th, from 6-11PM, I will be hosting an upgrade party for people interesting in moving their blogs to 1.5. There will be food, drink, and wi-fi, so bring a laptop or your account details and get your blog on the most advanced blogging software in the world. You can upgrade from any previous…
Don’t forget that the WordPress meetup is this Saturday. The new structure of the Meetup site allows a lot more flexibility for group organizers to choose the time and place of the Meetup, which has always been my biggest objection. (The venues always were awful.) In Houston we’re going to be at a cozy coffee…
For everyone in San Francisco the WordPress Meetup is tomorrow (Saturday) at 4 PM. However there is a slight misunderstanding about the location. All week I’ve been telling everyone it’s going to be at the Border’s at Union Square, when at the meetup site it’s listed as a Border’s someplace way out of town. So…
In a few hours I’m going to be in Austin for this year’s SxSW Interactive conference. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun this year and I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of old and new friends. If you are a WordPress user, or are interested in becoming one, feel free…
