MSP WordPress #12: Tech Shop

March 23, 2011 in Meeting Agendas, News

You have asked for it, and it is here!  Due to popular demand (and a bit of last-minute planning on my part), we will be bringing Ye Olde Tech Shoppe back for tomorrow’s meeting!

This means that you should bring your broken websites, your wounded CSS, and your unsolved support tickets to The Nerdery tomorrow where one of our caring WordPress volunteers will try to help you mend your website wounds.

Be sure to have your FTP information, server logins, and WordPress logins handy if you need website support.  Of course, spectators are welcome!

We closed 50 support tickets during WordCamp MSP; let’s see if we can add to that total!

See you there!

MSP WordPress #11: Make MSPWordPress.com Awesome!

February 8, 2011 in News

For February’s MSP WordPress gathering, we will be doing something a bit different.

With your help, Gillian and I will be procuring a list of “to-do” items for MSPWordPress.com.  At the gathering on 2/24/2011, we will split up into groups, with each group being in charge of producing a “fix” for a specific item on the MSP WordPress.com website.

Some things that come to mind include:

  • Design a theme
  • Develop a theme
  • Make the group’s plugin directory awesome
  • Make the group’s theme directory awesome
  • Build functionality that gives job recruiters a place to post their openings
  • Build functionality that gives job seekers a place to post their credentials
  • Build a member directory
  • ???

Any other ideas?  If so, leave them in the comments of this post or let us know via the Google Group.
