I'm sitting in my hotel room after getting a hot shower under led shower head (I love how water change its' color as I shower) after the day’s conference. I sat outside talking to Brian Collinger for a while (he's one of Automattic's Code Wranglers - and the dude knows his stuff). And that's what these events are all about - connecting (and reconnecting)…

View more presentations from Mitch Canter. These are the same slides I did for BlogWorldExpo, so they have a few blogworld specific items in there… but for the most part, everything is the same content wise. And please, if you have any questions about WordPress, blogging, or anything in general (even if you weren’t at the conference) please feel free to let me know.
WordCampBirmingham is little under an hour and a half underway down here at the Innovation Depot in Birmingham. Dougal gave an amazing presentation on plugin development earlier and Sara Cannon is giving a great presentation on branding WordPress as we speak. There’s a lot of people here (around 200ish) and so far the lineup of presentations is looking to be killer. I’ll update this…
I’m finally back home after two weeks of vacation and conferences (and back to internet access that actually works!!) and I got to say – even though I've been working for the past week in a different location, it’s still nice to get away from the daily grind and get out of your zone for a bit. I feel really renewed and I can’t…
Today was Day 1 of the Social South conference in Birmingham, and everything was definitely in full swing from the get-go. Although it’s late, I do have some takeaways I want to talk about so I can get them out of my brain and onto the blog. No one is an expert in Social Media – it’s too new of a medium for anyone…
Ever since I heard about SoSo back, waaaaaay back a year ago I’ve been looking forward to when it would come to fruition. Well, tomorrow, that day finally arrives. It’s been a while in the making, but the Magic City becomes abuzz with speakers, social media enthusiasts and others who are interested in learning or teaching their craft. There are high level speakers (the…
Nathan Ketsdever knows everything you need to know about SEO. Ever. And he can tell you all of it in one hour. It’s not that there’s not a lot of information; he just talks really fast! The Gang War between Macs and PC ever intensifies, and the lines have been drawn. The Birmingham tech community is strong, and not just with coders. There are…
I’m down here at the Innovation Depot in Birmingham, AL for BarCampBirmingham, and even though I was a little late I'm really digging what I’ve seen so far. There’s a really tech-savvy crowd here today, with a lot of really new and interesting topics (mobile web, twitter for business, and even some other WordPress developers). I didn’t get a good look at the session…
So, by far, today's PodCampNashville was one of the most fun events that I've been to in the last while. I made a lot of new connections, but the best part was hanging out at the after party and just reveling in the "real life" of things. Sure, we all met online, but it's a driving community spirit that keeps us all coming back…
