9seeds in Savannah

August 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Well….guess what? Another WordCamp…surprise surprise!

This time, I’ll be at WordCamp Savannah on August 21st and 22nd, and I’m excited to be there as I have never been to Georgia before.  I am a little worried about the humidity, but I’m sure I’ll survive.

This is actually a 3 day event. Friday the 20th will be a Pre-WordCamp Workshop day where you can get your own domain and site setup and get familiarized with WordPress before the actual event. This is a great idea for those who want to start a site but aren’t just quite sure how. Lisa-Sabin Wilson will be heading up this workshop, so anyone attending will be in good hands.

9seeds is sponsoring this event and I was asked to do a short version of my PHP/CSS for Beginners presentation as well as hang out at the Genius Bar on Sunday the 22nd. So I’ll do a quick version of how to understand and modify PHP and CSS for beginners and then answer the flood of questions that will probably come into the Genius Bar on Sunday. If you have WordPress questions and have not taken advantage of a Genius Bar at WordCamps you’re missing out…it’s a great resource to get questions answered. I’m sure it will be a great time and the list of speakers looks great, so if you don’t have a ticket yet you really should go get one!

So, Savannah looks like a great city and I’m looking forward to seeing it and catching up with WordPress friends there. Hope to see you there!

Next stop, WordCamp Boulder

July 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I'm Sponsoring WordCamp Boulder 2010Last year I had the great pleasure of attending WordCamp Denver and am very excited to be heading back to Colorado for round two! But this time, WordCamp has moved up the road to Boulder, CO. This year I won’t just be attending, but we are also one of the sponsors of the event!

Last year the guys at Crowd Favorite put together a great collection of speakers, and this year is no different. Have a look at the list of speakers, and then go register to attend! There are less than 100 tickets left, so get on it!

I also wanted to send a big ‘ol THANKS to the guys at Crowd Favorite for moving the event from February to July. As beautiful as it was to see everything covered in snow, I’m sure the place will be just as beautiful without the snow.

See you there!

See you in Chicago!

I am attending WordCamp Chicago 2010Where exactly has this month gone? I looked up and realized that in just over a week, I’ll be hopping a plane to attend WordCamp Chicago! I’m really excited! The last time I was in Chicago was December of last year for a different conference and on the day I left it was a whopping 4 degrees outside. The 10 day forecast says that it’ll be partly cloudy with a high of 75! Heck Yeah!

Moderate weather aside, WordCamp Chicago looks like it’s going to be a great one. They have an outstanding list of speakers lined up! I see that there are less than 100 tickets left, so you should go and register now!

From what I hear the WordPress community in Chicago is top notch. I’m looking forward to meeting a ton of new people and saying hello to some old friends! If you see me walking around, definitely come and say hello! You can also hit me up for a sticker or two.

9seeds at WordCamp Orange County

April 19, 2010 By 2 Comments

It’s no secret, we are big fans of WordCamp events. We are even bigger fans of the people that pour their heart in to making the events happen. When we found out Brandon Dove was putting together WordCamp Orange County, we knew we wanted to be a part of it any way we could. So it was a no-brainer for us to sponsor the event.

We are also thrilled to have the opportunity to help out as presenters. John Hawkins will be giving a presentation on beginning plugin development. If you are interested in writing your own plugins but aren’t sure exactly where to start, be sure to catch John’s presentation on Saturday.

We’ve heard that there may be an informal Genius Bar where attendees can get some one-on-one assistance with their WordPress site. John and Todd will both be hanging around all day Saturday and will be happy to answer questions. We’ll also have a bunch of 9seeds stickers, so track us down and ask for one.

We know first hand how much work goes in to putting on a WordCamp. Congratulations to Brandon and his team. We’re excited to be part of what is going to be a great event!

Orange County WordCamp is taking place on April 24th at UC Irvine. Tickets are $40 and get you a T-shirt, lunch and a full day of WordPress fun. Don’t miss it, buy your tickets now!
