WOW! I had such a great time today at Podcamp Nashville ~ my brain is overflowing with information! I tried to be a sponge; but oh my, there was so much amazing content…let’s just say I’m very grateful that many of the speakers are posting their slides! Over the next week or so I’ll share what I learned with you. I had 3 favorite sessions, and below are the slides from “How to use WordPress for Dang Near Anything” by Mitch Canter at Studio Nashvegas (#pcn10wpanything on Twitter).

Probably some of the best information in this particular slideshow is the list of “must have” WP plug-ins. If you’re anything like me, you probably get a little overwhelmed by all the available plug-ins and which ones are the best. There are some awesome suggestions in here.

I’m COMPLETELY reconstructing this website in the coming months, so this session was particularly helpful. I hope you find it helpful too!

I’m so excited about Podcamp tomorrow! With sessions like:

Building Trust – Why it is Time to have a Strategy
Wordpress SEO Strategies
Herding Cats: Web Content Strategy
How to use WordPress for Dang Near Anything
Make Skype Your Podcasting Bitch
Sex, Lies & Social Media
Social NETiquette

How can you resist?!?!? Oh yeah, and it’s FREE!

I’m psyched about BarCamp tomorrow and this is why…

BarCamp is Nashville’s free “un”-conference for the digital and technical community. The BarCamp format was brought to Nashville by Marcus Whitney and Dave Delaney in 2007. It’s free to attend — thanks to our generous sponsors — and the un-conference format encourages community learning: attendees are also encouraged to sign up to present a session. (Did [...]
