Charlotte held it’s first Charlotte WordCamp at the Charlotte Observer on Saturday, November 16, 2008. It was an event organized by Jason Keath to help inspire blogging and give helpful advice and tips regarding Wordpress. There were about 120 people in attendance which seemed to fill up the room with a lot of Happy Bloggers. Some people were there to network, inform, inquire or just learn. Whatever their purpose for coming, I’m sure it was achieved since the panel was set up with well informed and professional bloggers and developers. The keynote speaker was Mark Jaquith and Corey Creed spoke on the importance of Search Engine Optimization. You can view a bit of what he had to say here. There were many other wonderful speakers of which I regretfully missed their names. I’m hoping to revise this post once I get them.

| Keep a family scrapbook: A wikispace is a great way to build a family website that the entire family can work on. Put up family news, stories, and pictures and your family members can then update, add, and comment helping it become the place you go to for family news. Wikispaces is so easy to use, everyone can participate. |
| Energize your classroom: Need somewhere to work on essays together? A wikispace for a class is a great place for students to post their work so that teachers and classmates can correct, improve, and discuss their work. |
| Organize group activites: Got a softball team, scout group, or book club? A wikispace lets you post schedules, plans, and lists that the rest of your group can update and edit any time they like. Your group members can also be notified of changes as they happen so that they never miss out on updates. |
| Share your passion and learn Love wine? Or French restaurants? Or vintage Porsches? Keep track of what you’ve learnt about your latest passion in a Wikispace. By inviting others who share your interest to the space you can build a better website than you ever could alone. |

Just wanted to let you know that I am tinkering in the very popular open source content management system of Joomla. You can watch as I learn. (Please note… “work in progress”.)
I hope to be able to get more familiar with this technology so I can offer it to my clients as an option for their Web Design and Content Management.
