Just last week (Nov 5th & 6th, 2011) I was lucky enough to attend WordCamp Gold Coast. This is only the fourth WordCamp held in Australia and the first event to be held in Queensland. Approximately 150 attendees, 21 speakers and 8 sponsors made for an awesome weekend! A huge thanks must go to all the guys that organised the event and kept it running over the weekend as well as all the fantastic speakers.
I recently released a new side project that I’ve been working on for a while. It’s called Easy WP Guide. It’s an easy to follow manual to help you understand the basics of editing your WordPress site content. You can read the guide online or download the PDF or (brandable) Word document for reading offline.
One of the benefits of having a blog, no matter whether it’s WordPress or something else, is being able to interact with your readers through the use of Comments. Obviously, the downside to this is the Spam that you also attract. Thankfully there’s quite a few plugins around now that allow you to automatically filter out the majority of Spam comments.
It was with much sorrow that I laid my beautiful girl Maddie to rest last week. She was an amazing girl who was forever by my side, from the time I got her at 8 weeks of age right through to her very last day, at the age of 14. Just missing out on her 15th birthday by 2 ½ months. This alone was quite a feat as the average age for Boxers is usually only 8 — 10 years.
