WordCamp UK A Few Places Left

For those of you think­ing you may have missed out on this com­ing weekend’s WordPress fun at WordCamp UK in Manchester, think again!

As the tick­ets did not com­pletely sell out, we are mak­ing the last few avail­able on the door, as we did last year.

You must email me (mike at my domain ) to reserve a ticket, and then turn up on Sat­urday morn­ing with your £30 cash.

To recap, WordCamp UK is this week­end, July 17th and 18th, at the Manchester Met­ro­pol­itan Uni­ver­sity Busi­ness School which is in Manchester city centre, a few minutes walk from the main Pic­ca­dilly train Station.

There are four sim­ul­tan­eous tracks : Gen­eral & user, Spe­cial­ist & developer, Mis­cel­laneous & spon­tan­eous and a ‘Genius Bar’ (a range of WordPress experts avail­able to advice attendees on a one-to-one basis).

I look for­ward to see­ing you there.

New Corporate Site

I finally got round to cre­at­ing and launch­ing my new cor­por­ate site at zed1.com, a mere 7 months after I star­ted the busi­ness!
It’s one of those things that kept get­ting put on the back burner, but I’ve finally done it, though it’s not com­plete and really only a tem­por­ary logo and design.

Still, I wanted to get it done in time for WordCamp UK in Cardiff this weekend.

WordCamp UK 2009 — This year it’s Cardiff

I have now bought my ticket to WordCamp UK 2009. The second annual UK-based WordCamp. This time the venue is Cardiff and I am really look­ing for­ward to it.

Last year’s Word­Cam­pUK was the first and went really, really well. I got to speak at the event, I met some great people, and for me, it was a life chan­ging event — lit­er­ally! Hav­ing listened to and spoken to a num­ber of people who earn all or part of their liv­ing with WordPress, I decided to give up my job and work for myself.

I can’t prom­ise it will be quite so sig­ni­fic­ant for you, but I do prom­ise you will hear some great speak­ers, and meet some really nice people. Some who are experts, some who are begin­ners, plenty in between, all of whom are fans of WordPress.

WordCamp UK 2009 Logo We all work together to make it a great couple of days from which every­one can learn some­thing, be inspired, and maybe, just maybe, it can change your life too.

I have volun­teered to speak again, but don’t let that put you off. :-)

This time I am bring­ing the fam­ily along a day early and I’m look­ing for­ward to see­ing some of what Cardiff has to offer. I’m espe­cially look­ing for­ward to the Dr Who and Torch­wood exhibitions

Tick­ets are now on sale, with a dis­count before May 31st. We are look­ing for Spon­sors too.

Come along, all are wel­come. Please book early, as places are limited.
