Sadly, WordCamp Was Nothing Like BandCamp
I have been able to call myself a Blogger for longer than I can remember (I blame the oldskool 8 bit NES for the long term memory loss), and today as I wandered through the world of Word Camp here in Victoria I realize that I have nothing to really show for it.
I am like the Sam Malone of blogging; I love creating blogs, building them up, and then I lose interest after awhile and delete them. I think this was how Sammy dealt with his ‘womens.’
I just spent the entire day at WordCamp Victoria and had a pretty rad time. There was a shload of great speakers, as well speaking with many of the attendees was like a learning experience unto itself. It was really cool to hang out with a ton of people that share the same interests as me. When I talk to my wife about blogging, social media, web design and marketing she usually gets glazed over, or I see her lips moving like she is trying mimicking what I am saying so that she can understand the jibber jabber that has burst forth from my mouth (which is usually frothing with excitement). It was great to hang with The WCV Crew and get all the WordPress talk out of my system.
My wife thanks you as well!
Word Camp to me was a vast source of inspiration. As well as learning a few great bits of information, I also realized that after all these years of promiscuous blogging I have picked up quite a brainful of WordPress knowledge. The people I met today had quite a variety of experience using WordPress, and it made me realize that a lot of the things in my brain that I take for granted other people have little experience with.
This made me think that I should actually blog about using WordPress. I collected a vast about of ideas today, and I think that I could dispense this WP knowledge in a mildly amusing way.
If you just came from Word Camp and are still ‘high on WordPress’ please feel free to leave a comment here and let me know what kinds of things you would like to see covered on this blog. If no one comments then I will just go off on my own tangent and start ranting about some disease I made up and have somehow contracted.
