Attend Charlotte’s Wordcamp for Free
Posted October 14, 2008 by Andy Denton
Want to attend Charlotte’s first Wordcamp for FREE?
Thanks to a core group of Charlotte bloggers and marketers, Charlotte is hosting it’s first Wordcamp next month. Realty.com is going to be a sponsor of the event, and we are very excited about it. For me, the tech community in Charlotte has been kept underground for far too long, and this event is nothing but a great thing. For those of you who are not in the know, Wordcamps are events that discuss everything about the world’s most powerful blogging platform, Wordpress.
The Charlotte edition of Wordcamp is slated for Saturday, November 15th. The event will run from 10am to 4pm that afternoon. And Wordpress lead programmer, Mark Jaquith, is slated to be the keynote speaker. Join the event to network with other area bloggers and marketers. Enjoy informative conversations at the round table. And, plan to attend to continue to grow the Charlotte tech community.

Link at: http://journeydeeper.blogspot.com/2008/10/charlotte-word-camp.html Charlotte WordCamp is coming to town on November 15, 2008 and I am hoping to attend. Charlotte WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. So why am I telling you about this? For a few reasons. First, by posting a blog on the event, I can potentially earn a free registration to the event sponsored by Realty.com. Second, I would really like some input onto how I can make my blog more interactive and user friendly. Please provide input on anything you can think of. Are my posts too long? Is the font or coloring making it difficult to read? Do I make it to personal or not personal enough? Content: what would you like to read about? My last two blog posts have had more readers and comments than my entire blog's combined history. How did you find my blog and what would keep you coming back to read it on a normal basis? And for those observant types that notice the conference is for WordPress while my blog is on Blogspot, I will learn valuable tips for blogging in general but I also have a blog planned out for the future that will exclusively focus on counseling issues and an advice column, which will most likely end up on WordPress. You can answer these questions and provide in feedback below.
