Minneapolis-St Paul Wordpress User Group

Back by popular demand this Thursday, Jan. 26 at 7 p.m. is MSP WordPress!  (many props to John Havlik for driving the agenda)

There has been a lot of discussion on the group recently about what software and workflows WordPress pros are using to build sites these days.

Two of our pros-in-residence, John Havlik and Tom Penney, will show us how they use Coda and Aptana, respectively to rock their workflow.  …And I’ll just address the elephant in the room right now – Doesn’t anyone use Dreamweaver anymore???  ;)

We will also continue our discussion on Trackbacks & Pingbacks and close out the evening with an info-session about the Overnight Website Challenge.

Tomorrow’s MSP WordPress gathering will feature local SEO guru, Dave Allen. He will be giving us an update on the current state of SEO. Is paid search better than SEO? How has Facebook changed the search game? Come and find out!

We will follow up Dave’s session with a roundtable on fun and useful plugins we all use (thanks, Susie!).

Finally, we will have a short organizing meeting for the yet-to-be-named local WordPress event this winter. Who knows, maybe we will call it “WordCamp”.

Greetings!

We will be holding our 17th WordPress gathering tomorrow night at The Nerdery.

The first part of the show will be Matt Mullenweg’s “State of the Word” address from WordCamp San Francisco.  We will follow that up with a discussion about the current state of the WordPress community locally as well where you think WordPress is heading.

What else is on your mind?
