WordCamp PDX 2011

WordPress Conference

wordcamp portland attending WordCamp PDX 2011The first day of WordCamp PDX  Unconference was well worth attending.  I met some great new local talent as well as learned some new ideas and techniques that will benefit all my clients.  I so appreciate the vibrant and talented WordPress enthusiasts here in the Portland Vancouver area and have benefited from attending WordCamp the past 3 years.

Some of what I have picked up so far:

  • There are  vibrant local Musicians that ar3e using WordPress successfully here in the Portland area
  • A number of new and very useful Plugins – keep an eye out for the video reviews of these plugins at AskDotty.com very soon
  • Ideas to better enhance the client experience when using WordPress as a CMS

I am looking forward to learning more this afternoon.

Loved WordCamp Portland

  • Custom Post Types (Not so scary)
  • Learned about Many New Plugins
  • Business Blogging
  • Postie – Posting from Email
  • How To Monetize Podcasts
  • Much Much More

Popularity Contest: WordPress Plugin

Popularity Contest is a WordPress plugin that is worth having.  It will list your most popular posts in your sidebar for easy reference.  Jack – Social Marketing Expert – provides a short video on using Popularity Contest.  Check it out at the Friday Traffic Report.
