Last week as an experiment I had a WordPress session right before another event that I was involved with. The event right after is called ModLab and it’s the open house for one of the labs where I work on my projects. It was fun but I found that it didn’t run smoothly since...
Last night we had a small “Ask the WordPress Expert” meet-up. We had five people in total. The next WordPress event(s) are posted. Contact me if you need another event to help with your projects. The ATWE format is fun as people just ask me (and each other) questions. I am booking some events...
Yesterdays WordPress demonstration went very well. We filled the room. Canadian Energy Issues Steve Aplin did a brief presentation on how his blog has impacted his interests. He mentioned that it lead him to many new connections and opportunities. He also showed a custom plugin that he added to show Ontario’s energy production and CO2...
We had a great meetup last night. What we learned: 1) Blog oriented sites vs. Page oriented sites. Dashboard/Settings/Reading allows us to decide if a user visiting our URL sees the blog or a specific page. In the event you decide on a specific page, it’s a good practice to create a dummy page...

I think these two videos and the youtube channel illustrate a very important point (below) about social media. The first video was uploaded May 8th and already has 800,000 views. I added the second video so you could see another sample from the channel. You may want to dig down into this channel to...
Here’s an interesting email I got from Scott Heiferman, Meetup co-founder. I don’t write to our whole community often, but this week is special because it’s the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and many people don’t know that Meetup is a 9/11 baby. Let me tell you the Meetup story. I was living a couple miles...

I think it’s a matter of time before people start looking at other options such as Google+ or maintaining their social profile...
