Welcome to my Weekend Coffee Share, hosted by Allison at http://eclecticali.wordpress.com
Pull up a chair and grab your drink of choice. As you can see, Bixby prefers a puppicino! NO, I porbably didn’t spell it right; it’s a made up word anyway! It has been a hot week. The heat and humidity together made it feel like 110 degrees at times. Yikes!
I was glad to be indoors for a while at the WordPress Wordcamp today. It was so interesting and at times, overwhelming.
Here are three takeaways:
1. The sessions are not long enough for you to actually set up everything that you might want to on your site, so take notes! I plan to ruminate on the information later.
2. There is sooo much covered, and if you are merely a fledgling techie like me, take note of sites recommended or bookmark them on your laptop to review when there is more time.
3. Make it a point to return the next time there is a Wordcamp in town! Next time, I’ll have a better idea which sessions would best pertain to me. The most helpful today was on planning content. There were many things in that session I plan to put to use!
Besides it being interesting, I met some nice folks, and the lunch was great!
What I’m going to remember most is the idea of having a content plan. Saturday is already a great time for networking and community, as we do with the Weekend Coffee Share.
Besides working a little more on my work-in-progress, Malachi, I joined the Friday Fictioneers prompt challenge and entered my own little flash-fiction. Mny reders are interpreting it in different ways! Check it out: Observations at the Theater, Friday Fictioneers
I thank you for stopping by and hate to cut it short, but I am a little tired after this day of learning so many new things and now there is dinner to consider.
I hope you all have a great week! I am planning a little bit of writing on my novel in progress next week, and I’ll be working up that content plan for my blog and social media. Then there is also Independence Day. Enjoy it! I don’t have firm plans yet, but I’ll definitely be comforting my dog from the neighborhood sounds of fireworks. Poor doggie can’t stand the noise. 😦

I had no idea WordPress did wordcamps! How fun! I bet there was a lot to learn. Did you make any connections with other bloggers?

I’d never heard of WordCamp either. It sounds way cool, although I wonder if, being blind, I could learn much from it. After all, the #1 blogging mistake I make is rarely including original pictures with my posts, but this is simply because I can’t.

A lot of what I learned about was the technology aspect which is not my thing. I would go again to learn more about social media, planning content, and boosting my visibility. I think it awesome that you blog! Some people are drawn in by the pictures, but the content is really what matters!
