My Experience As A Volunteer At Wordcamp Boston (with Session Slides) #wcbos

Now that it’s over I wanted to write about how great Wordcamp Boston was. Check out #wcbos or #bestwordcampever if you need more proof. Or you can relive it on the live blog. I first found out about it a couple weeks before the tickets went on sale, and I immediately wanted to go. The next thing I heard was that tickets were sold out….bummer. I didn’t even know they went on sale and they were already gone. Luckily I happened to see they still needed volunteers, which I was willing to settle for even though I wouldn’t be able to see and do everything I wanted when I wanted, and I would have to do work. I just wanted to be apart of it, and I was one of those chosen to volunteer so I would be able to go after all

25 Unbelievably Inspiring Works Of Art – Masters Of Design

It’s time for another dose of design inspiration. I think it’s necessary for designers to look at others work often to help expanding the imagination of creativity. It opens you up to more ideas and things that you wouldn’t normally even think of or consider doing yourself. I think my favorite type graphic art is photo manipulation because it is one of the most creative forms of art I’ve ever seen, and it requires an extreme amount of skill to do effectively

I just turned 27 on Saturday and I gotta say, it wasn’t really any different than any other day for me. You know how I spent my birthday? I was working on websites, learning more about Wordpress and all that stuff that I do on a daily basis. I spent the majority of the day alone, on my computer. I’m so exciting, and wild huh.

The whole weekend really was basically nothing more than ordinary as far as birthday weekends go. It’s not like I couldn’t find stuff to do, I just wanted to do what I do, and it made me depressed.

wp3 When it comes to blogging, Wordpress stands alone. It is used by far more bloggers than any other system available, and because it is open-source, it makes it easy to create plugins for it. The Wordpress community created countless numbers of scripts and addons that make using Wordpress much easier, and more fun and useful. There are so many great plugins, and with the built-in Wordpress plugin search and install feature, it is even easier to add them to your blog.

With all the thousands of plugins out there, it can be hard to decide what one’s to use. There are many that are very similar. It all depends on your preferences and what works for your site. Some plugins I have found to be very useful, and don’t think any blog should do without. Others I just feel work with the kind of site I want to run.

Here is a list of 18 Wordpress plugins in alphabetical order, that I would recommend to anyone with a blog, some of which should undoubtedly be used by everyone
