Bakla is Excited for Wordcamp Philippines 2008

Posted by: AJ In: From Bakla| WordPress ()

WordCamp in the Philippines — the first in Southeast Asia!

And I will be there to be part of an historic moment in Philippine Blogging History! Like many bloggers out there, I want to improve my craft, not only in effective and entertaining story-telling and writing, but also in the little quirks that come with a self-hosted Wordpress blog (you know those techie plugins and php and css chuvervalynationessences? I, kinda. Ergo, WordCamp Philippines 2008).

Another major reason for joining WordCamp Philippines 2008 is the people who worked so hard to make this event possible — the Mindanao Bloggers! I am a proud Davaoeño and I’m even more proud that this event is being organized by my brothers and sisters from Mindanao!

WordCamp is the premier event for WordPress users and developers. WordPress is arguably the #1 blogging platform in the world today. Apart from the fact that it is feature-packed, highly customizable and flexible, WordPress is open source, and therefore has a large community dedicated to advancing its development. And so, WordCamp is the best venue for WP enthusiasts to come together and get updated on the latest.

One of the objectives of WordCamp Philippines is to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.
