So it’s pretty obvious I don’t blog as much as I probably should, but this is my site so whatever, right?!
Anyway, to get things sort of caught up, I’ve been busy. 9seeds has been busy, thus the lack of posting…just working going on here. But this weekend I’ll be at WordCamp Phoenix and thought I’d write a little about it.
First, on Friday I’ll be doing a free Intro to WordPress for Beginners class as part of the Free WorkShop Friday, which should be really cool. It’s from 9am-4pm and we’ll cover everything you’d probably ever want to know about using WordPress. I really like this idea as a lot of beginners are lost at WordCamps and just need a very basic intro to what WordPress is, etc so I’m excited to have been asked to do this.
Saturday I’ll be speaking about WordPress and eCommerce at 1:30pm and will cover WP eCommerce, Shopp and PHPurchase which are shopping cart solutions for WordPress. I have 30 minutes, so don’t blink as you might miss something ! I’ll be around all day and helping out at the Genius Bar so there will be plenty of time for questions.
On Sunday my wife Abbie was asked to teach a WordPress for Kids class. This is really cool! Again – they’ve thought of everything. Everything! We homeschool our kiddos so she’s the perfect fit for this class and what better thing to teach kids than to know WordPress?
Working at home and being far away from my WordPress friends is tough sometimes but it all evens out at WordCamps – it’s sort of like reunion time so I’m excited about seeing all my friends that I haven’t seen in a while. The whole 9seeds crew will be there as well so that’s cool, since we don’t see each other often enough either – so it’s going to be a packed weekend but good times will be had.
I’d also like to recognize Amanda Blum, Chuck Reynolds and the rest of the team at WordCamp Phoenix for all the hard work they’ve put into this event. 5 days of WordPress, over 600 attendees and surprises around every turn – I really don’t think they’ve left a single detail unnoticed. If you’re attending WordCamp Phoenix, make sure to find them and let them know how much they are appreciated and not just drink all of the free coffee 🙂
That’s it for now…
