Well I created a group called WordPress Geeks and overtime I hope a few folks want to join and help me grow and manage it. Basically, as I say in the description:
WordPress is the most popular open source Content Management System (CMS) there is. I'd like this group to talk about WordPress, heck even Joomla and Drupal. I make a living using it and I have to admit I don't really get a chance to talk with many folks that know a single thing about the darn program. Lets do that in this group.
Four or five years ago if you would have said WordPress I'd have no clue what you were talking about. If you told me as a marketing wonk, branding guy I'd be making my living today building web sites with WordPess I'd have laughed at you. But that is exactly what I now do.
If you use WordPress. Heck if you just want a blog and think it is too hard, you can't figure all that stuff out. Well you'd be wrong and this Group is for you. A little more below the fold.
My goal for this group is three-fold :
1. Talk with other folks that use WordPress on a regular basis to develop sites. I wouldn't call myself an expert with WordPress. I see what the top folks are doing. But I am on the high-end in what I do and I just never get to talk with other folks that are in a similar position. I know there is so much more I could learn. I'd like to do that.
2. I know a lot of people here use WordPress for their personal sites/blogs. Their campaign sites. Their PACs. I'll look at their site and say, "you know you can do this or that." They are like WTF. I had no idea. That is so cool. I'd like to convey some of the things that can be done to our progressive community to help folks. Nothing more.
3. Anybody here, if you have a domain name and a $5/month hosting account could have a site/blog with WordPress in under 5 minutes. Yes you heard me right. Under five minutes. I used to joke on the old site if you can post and comment here you can publish to the Internet with WordPress. With this upgrade if you can get around WordPress will be pretty simple. I know so many people here want a blog or a site for their political campaign. I'd like to help make that a reality for you.
So leave me a comment. I'll invite you to the group and lets have some fun, learn, and help a few of our fellow Kossacks.
