Reading time: 1 minuteIf you know me, you know that New Media Expo (formerly BlogWorld) is my absolute favorite event to attend during the year. I average about six conferences a year (between the various WordCamps, PodCamps, and other camps), but there’s none that I’d rather attend.

WordPress for iOS: Much Improved
Reading time: 1 minuteI wrote a post a while back stating that the iOS app for WordPress was… lackluster, at best.
