Dave Barger graciously invited me to speak at Memphis’ BarCamp, so I will be making the voyage from Nashvegas to Graceland tomorrow.  Not sure what the plans are for tomorrow night, but Saturday’s going to be an action packed day.  I’ll be speaking on blogging 101 (specifically with WordPress) and then doing an advanced tactics session for WordPress, so all you junkies be ready to get your WordPress fix!

And, as always, my slides are available (or at least in some form or fashion) right now on SlideShare!
