Details: #SMBSTL WordPress & Tech Help Desk

Since many bloggers utilize WordPress as their blogging platform, we wanted to have a place for attendees to ask their most pressing WP questions. Super WP user, technology wiz, and instructor, Dr. Lisa Richardson, will be on hand for 10 minute consultations during breaks between sessions. These one-on-one sessions are great for those of you who need a little extra help with WordPress (or any tech related questions you may have).

Because of the size of the conference, we are asking that you schedule your 10 minute session beforehand. To schedule a session, simply email info@showmetheblog.com with your name, URL, and WordPress issue(s) summarized. Also indicate what day you are attending (day #1, day #2, or both days), and we will email you back with the time of your scheduled appointment.

Also, in order to make the appointment as hands on as possible, be sure to bring your laptop with you to the conference for the appointment.

Appointments will be handled on a first come, first served basis.

Learn more about Dr. Lisa Richardson and her expertise below:

In 1983, Lincoln Richardson brought home a brand-new computer and taught his eight-year-old daughter how to write a simple program in BASIC, play games, and use a word processing program. It was love at first sight. In college, ten years later, that girl was introduced to the internet. She learned how to chat online, search for information…and skip classes. (goodbye full ride!) Today, Dr. Lisa Richardson helps individuals and organizations optimize business processes with a holistic approach to technology education and web design strategy. Lisa T. Richardson, PhD is the lead designer of Flow! Web Strategy & Design (YouCanFlow.com) in Atlanta, GA.

#SMBSTL Staff Attends WordCamp Chicago

If you have been following us on Twitter and Facebook for the last few days, then you know that we have been attending WordCamp Chicago 2011 at the DePaul University Student Center. Kim (Communications Director) and myself have been soaking up the wonderfulness that is WordPress information, tools, and tips. I can honestly say that this experience was well worth the $40 ticket price, and I have been taking notes like crazy trying to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

If you are in St. Louis, you can also attend WordCamp St. Louis which takes place next weekend. For more information on this August 6th event, click HERE.

WordCamp is coming to St. Louis August 6th

At Show Me the Blog, we heavily prefer WordPress over other blogging modules. So we were elated to find out that WordCamp is finally coming to our neck of the woods August 6th at Maryville University. WordCamp is the preeminent WordPress conference in which you can learn everything about the interface including design, development, and business in terms of the blogging tool.

Presale tickets are now available for $20, which is indeed a steal. Hurry and buy yours quick because they are sure to be gone soon.

We plan on participating in WordCamp St. Louis and will be in attendance for the event when it kicks off for the first time in our area. We hope that all of you Show Me the Bloggers will attend and show your support!
