Plugin-A-Palooza entry: CC: Devs
This year for WordCamp Orange County, the organizers have put together an event called Plugin-A-Palooza. To enter you simply needed to come up with an idea for a plugin, write it and release it to the WordPress plugin repo by a certain date. When I first heard about it I thought to myself, “This is…

Earlier this month I spent a week in Maui. The first part of the week was spent checking out the island and several amazing places to eat. But the end of the week, and the actual reason I was in Maui to begin with was spent at WordCamp Maui. Tough place to have to go…

With WordCamp Vegas less than two weeks away, it’s pretty much on my mind 24/7 at this point. Just making sure I’ve got all the details sorted out, food and shirts ordered, schedule sorted… It can be a bit overwhelming. But there’s only so many times you can go over a list of tasks, right?…

Planning for WordCamp Vegas 2013 is in full swing. This will be our 5th year in a row doing WordCamp here in Vegas and I think it’s going to be our biggest event to date! I can’t tell you how happy I am to have a team helping out. So. Many. Moving. Parts! Even though…

Last September I attended WordCamp Portland which was set up as an unconference. If you are unfamiliar with the term, an unconference doesn’t have a pre-scheduled list of speakers.

After that many events all centered around WordPress, I still manage to come home with a list of things to research. The best part is, my note taking abilities can sometimes be… less than stellar, so when…

A little more than a year ago I had the opportunity to speak at WordCamp Phoenix. That turned in to one crazy weekend as I ended up speaking at WordCamp New York that same weekend. I was really bummed not to have been able to stick around in Phoenix longer as the event was HUGE!…

After roughly 3 months of planning, WordCamp Las Vegas is happening tomorrow. I’m currently filled with mixed emotions. I’m very excited for tomorrow, it’s going to be a lot of fun. But, Sunday morning I’ll wake up and it will all be over for another year. Wait a sec, that sounds pretty awesome, too! 🙂…

It’s Tuesday afternoon and I’m just now getting caught up after spending the weekend in Los Angeles for WordCamp LA 2010. Trips to LA for me are always nice as I have a bunch of family there so I get to use WordCamp as an excuse to go and visit. Not to mention getting to…
