Yesterday downtown Nashville was invaded by 600+ of the brightest and best geeks in town as the Cadillac Ranch opened its doors for the third annual PodCampNashville.  People turned out in droves to hear speakers talk on creativity, development, design, marketing, public relations, and all other manner of speaking sessions.

 

I spoke on WordPress, and how to use it to take a blog from being “just a blog” to running a fully functional website.  There were lots of other great sessions, but for me the biggest draw is seeing people I haven’t seen in a long time, and just catching up with fellow WordPress fans, bloggers, and businesses who are looking to get their website into the new age of content management.

    Reading time: 2 minutes

    One of the most useful features WordPress has is the ability to create custom image sizes from uploads.  This takes the guesswork out of design, as it allows me to specify exactly the dimensions I need for my image.  For a long time, WordPress had the ability to switch between a “soft crop”, which basically…
