Matt is winding down the session with the Q&A session. Battery’s running out so this is probably my last update (and I’m getting lazy). Watch out for the proper WordCamp post later!
2:57 pm
It’s Ms. Google Earth Philippines, Aileen Apolo! She’s going to talk about Google Analytics. Woohoo! The crowd got really excited when she took out a Google shirt.
2:24 PM
Matt has the most awesome e-mail address, and I thought his url was already cool. Ria had a fan girl moment XD
1:59 pm
What’s this in the slide?? WordPress 2.7! It looks awesome! The Dashboard has been reorganized. It’s intuitive, you can even drag and drop the panels in the edit page! You can easily download and install themes and plugins right in your WordPress admin panel. How awesome is that? We’d all have to wait until November though. But still… YAY for WP2.7!
1:48 pm
I won a Php500 Gift certificate from Italianni’s! But enough of that… it’s Matt’s turn on the stage! First thing he did was to take a photo of the Wordcampers! 😀
1:28 pm
Lunch is done (thank you, Chowking!), and we’re just waiting for the afternoon’s plenary session.
12:07 am
Apart from the overly technical stuff, this is really quite interesting. Specially since I need it for work and freelance projects. I’m really impressed at the sites Karla showed us that uses WordPress as their CMS. They really doesn’t look like your typical wordpress blogs! Impressive.
11:50 am
Nosebleeding at Karla’s session. Should’ve gone to the presscon (g_doh)
11:31 am
The SEO session was PACKED. Eric and I are now inside Karla‘s session, WordPress as CMS.
11:19 am
We were late to join the other breakaway session, so we’re just hanging around the CSB halls. But at least we have pictures with Matt Mullenweg!
Second breakaway session is over. Moving on to WordPress & SEO!
10:42 am
Gail’s session is winding down. Important lesson: Don’t use your theme to spam! Oh, and while it’s often overlooked, it’s also important to edit your image.php and 404.php files.
9:59 am
Gail showed her work on the Pinoy Adventure Blog‘s theme. Ang ganda!
9:53 am
Gail’s talk is starting. She’s walking around the front of the theatre, wearing her Ateneo jacket. Kamusta naman.
9:39 am
Migs is giving a run down of the day’s schedule. The two tracks will divide in a bit. I’m attending Gail‘s talk on Creating WordPress Themes & CSS Power. A new travel blog will be unveiled. 😉
9:36 am
Blogie is now addressing the campers and welcomed Matt Mullenweg.
9:31 am
Opening remarks by De La Salle Benilde Dean Benhur Ong of the School of Management and Information Technology.
9:29 am
Wordcamp is starting!
9:23 am
Still not starting. They said the program’s going to start in two minutes a couple of minutes ago. I’ve finally met Estan, on my way to the loo. Nggh, forgot to take a photo *face palm*
8:27 am
People are trickling in. I’m seeing many familiar faces, but there are plenty of new faces as well. All around me are people taking about variable widths, widgets, header.php, upgrading to WordPress 2.6.1. My being an early bird got me a cute WordPress button!
7:23 am
I’m early. So early lol. I take comfort in knowing that I’m already the 3rd camper to arrive. The volunteers (save for the Rockstar Fritz Tentativa are hard buzzing about, making last minute preparations. The WC volunteers look spiffy in their black WordCamp Philippines shirt.
I shall be updating this post throughout the day (or at least when I can remember), with the latest updates appearing at the top of the page. Here’s to hoping I actually pay attention and not Plurk all day!
P.s. The Fritz is now working.
