WordCamp SF 2008 — I can’t wait
August 12th, 2008 Posted in GeneralSo, I went ahead and put up the WordCamp event on my calendar and now I am creating a post for this event.
I can’t wait. It’s the first time I’m going to this thing and the first time to visit the Mission Bay Campus. I think it will be fun. I also got a scholarship to go — the nice people at Auttomatic heard my pleas and granted my wish to go.
I’ve really gotten into the WordPress thing quite a bit since I moved my design over from Drupal a few months back. If anyone is looking for those posts, they’re gone. I figure enough people know how I feel about Drupal as a CMS and there’s no need to beat a dead fish anymore…
WordPress is a legit CMS: it keeps your information, it can change your information — basic CMS duties. Additionally, WordPress has awesome SEO capabilities — Drupal’s SEO really kicks ass and what makes searching for me on the Internet very easy. WordPress is comparable and has kept me in the Top 5 on Google searches since the move.
The coolest thing about WordPress for me is that is so easy to use. Just log in and type away. You don’t have to think about anything. This makes the stream of consciousness writing thing very easy to do. I don’t know about anyone else, but if I’m not motivated to write, I just won’t do it. Anything to make it easier for me to get my thoughts down on virtual paper is terrific.
Upgrade is easy on this thing and the latest version 2.6 is the best yet. It looks cool, easy to upgrade and just continues to expand. I love it.
Anyways….I hope to learn a lot from this event and get a pulse on what this part of tech thinks about WordPress and what else — anything else. It’ll just be good to be out that day hanging out with a bunch of geeks like me.
