Westward, Ho! (aka, It’s Nearly BlogWorld LA) [#bweny]

It’s that time again – as if BlogWorld New York wasn’t awesome enough, now I’m getting a double dose of awesomeness – west coast style.

I just got my acceptance email stating that I will be speaking at BlogWorldLA.  It’s November 3-5 at the LA Convention Center, and if it’s even HALF as awesome as New York was, it’s going to be a conference worth going to (hint: it’s going to be even better than NY, I can tell!)

I’m doing something different this trip: instead of staying in an expensive hotel, I’ve booked a room with someone else.  I used airbnb to find a private room near the convention center.  I found Shelly’s apartment, and she’s letting me crash there for the few days I’m around.  It’s just under a mile from the center, but at $55 / night, I can afford the walk (and it’s good exercise!) or take a cab (because I’m lazy!).

I’ve never done anything like room sharing before, but I’m always willing to try something new, and I’ve heard great things about airbnb, so I’m going to take a chance on it.  Shelly’s already contacted me about the reservation, so I’m pretty sure my hostess will be fantastic.

At any rate, I’ll be speaking on WordPress (as per usual) and making the most out of a WordPress blog.  I’m going to do it a bit differently though, so look to this blog for feedback on what to cover and things of that nature.

Here’s to a fantastic end to the year’s conferences with Blogworld!

(PS: If you want to attend BlogWorld, then by all means do it! – it’s worth every penny to go, and they’re discounted until September 21st!)

    When you’re working on a development site it’s hard to set things up correctly because you know you’re going to change the site, and putting in elements that are more than likely “stationary”, such as links, will have to be changed, and that causes un-necessary headache when it comes time to move the site live. …

    How to Add Rainbow Text To WordPress

    Reading time: 1 minute

    I’ve been tinkering with the theme on this website, and I’m been very happy with how things have come out. I have a soft spot for gradients, especially with the ‘punk’ color scheme I’ve been using on my branding. One question I get, consistently: “How can I achieve the rainbow gradient text effect”? It’s actually…
