WordCamp is a one day event organized by the creators of WordPress for users and developers. This year’s event was held on Saturday at Mission Bay Conference center and featured talks by a range of people. In his “State of the Word” address, Matt Mulllenweg mentioned this was the largest ever WordCamp with over 400 people attending. You can see a selection of photos from the event at Matt’s post, including mine (also below). There’s also a good live recap of the event by Andrew Mager.
The new update came out earlier today. I tweeted it, but I’ve been busy with work all day and night. I’m just getting to updating my phone now. If you’ve updated, have you noticed any improvements with your iPhone performance?
I wanted to take a moment and thank the following bloggers and sites for including me in their recent lists of top/favorite female bloggers. I don’t tend to pay the most attention to lists and rankings. There’s always deserving people that don’t get included and the general nature of lists is subjective. That said, I appreciate the recognition, the time it took to put together these lists, and I’m honored to be included among many of my own favorite female bloggers. It’s a good reminder of what blogging is all about – sharing your own voice and ideas, whether it’s to an audience of ten or ten million.
I’ve been tweaking the design of my site behind the scenes for the last few weeks and made the changes live tonight. Of course, there will be continuous tweaks, but I feel purged! Overall, I’ve tried to reduce clutter and simplify the structure and presentation – a proper cleansing. It’s an evolution but also a return to an earlier version with less density.
The other changes in the works have to do with the content, focus, and my relationship with the site. It’s been feeling a bit stale for me so I’d like to shake it up and start lifeblogging. I hope to do more moblogging while on the go. Rather than just twittering and taking/sending photos to Flickr from my iPhone, I’ll post thoughts and images from my day here. I plan to do more free form design and keep a digital sketchbook here. I might start doing dispatches, daily updates about my day in diary form. I want to start doing some videos again and generally start expressing my creative side here. It’s time to make my personal site more personal!
