Speaking at WordCamp Minneapolis 2013

March 30, 2013 / / No Comments

WordCamp Minneapolis 2013 Badge I’m speaking at WordCamp Minneapolis next month, my session is called Inspecting WordPress. I’ll be talking about using Firebug or other web inspectors to dig into a site and learn how it is put together, make CSS tweaks, fix bugs, and optimize a site.

Several of us from the local MSP WordPress user group have been busy organizing the WordCamp. Everyone’s been doing an awesome job, the schedule, venues, parties, and swag are all coming along nicely. I built the theme, designed by the talented guys at WerkPress, and I’ve been managing the site. We just posted the speakers and sessions, there’s going to be a lot of brainpower to tap into.

Next weekend, on October 13, the MSP WordPress User Group will be having its first WordUp Minneapolis conference. The event is from 9am to 4pm at the Minneapolis Community & Technical College downtown and costs just ten dollars.

The format for WordUp will basically be a mini-WordCamp. We had our first WordCamp Minneapolis in 2010 and WordUp 2012 will hopefully be a solid stepping stone towards our next WordCamp in early 2013!

WordCamp Chicago road trip

August 21, 2012 / / No Comments

I’m going on a WordPress bender this weekend!

First I’m headed to the Twin Cities for the MSP WordPress meetup. After that, Kiko Doran and I are road tripping down to Chicago for WordCamp Chicago 2012.

This will be my third time attending WordCamp Chicago and it looks like it will be the best one yet. There are a lot of awesome speakers and sessions on the schedule, but I’m really interested in the interactive talks track, hopefully those will start some good conversations.
