Whether you’re attending the first WordCamp in the Philippines (and the second in all of Asia) or not, here’s a chance for you to get cool merchandise!
The WordCamp Philippines 2008 T-shirt comes in 2 colors: royal blue and maroon. They’re selling for P400 each for small, medium and large; P450 for extra-large.
Sizes come in two types, too: for men and for women.
A month ahead of schedule, Matt Mullenweg has announced the release of the newest version of WordPress.org: WordPress 2.6. It’s a major iteration, since the last version was only at 2.5.1.
This is because WordPress has taken huge steps forward in terms of becoming a serious content management system (and not just a blogging engine). For example, 2.6 features post versioning — WP saves older versions of your post in your admin area, and you can compare various versions and even revert to older copies of your post.
The registration form for WordCamp Philippines 2008 is now online! Click here to go and let us know that you intend to participate in the most awaited blogging event this year!
For those who do intend to attend WordCamp, please take note that, while it’s free to join, there is a required blog post. The instructions for that will be presented to you right after you register successfully.
See you in Manila this September!!!
In these times of skyrocketing fuel prices, the Internet is proving to be a haven for creative entrepreneurs and IT workers. Huge contact center operators and outsourcing companies have capitalized on the global digital network to deliver their services. By the same token, work-at-home private citizens have taken advantage of this as well.
Inspired by the activeness of local bloggers, Ted Padova — Davao’s resident Adobe expert and co-founder of ApoVisions.com — has come up with a plan to organize high-value seminars primarily for Mindanao bloggers. It’ll be a series of teach-ins that will arm Dabawenyos with gainful knowledge in various I.T. fields.
Of course, Ted is more than willing to impart his expertise in Adobe products, particularly Acrobat, PhotoShop, InDesign, and others. For my part, I have volunteered to contribute my meager knowledge in WordPress and CSS.
The organizers of this year’s Davao Cyber Expo invited me to give a talk on WordPress, which I delivered last 5 July 2008 at the NCCC Mall. I’d like to thank Christopher Cubos for having given me this opportunity to continue my advocacy of promoting the use of WordPress here in Davao.
I’m really happy to have gotten together with Cebuano bloggers last Sunday. Since I was going to be in Cebu for the weekend, I’d asked Winston to try and get in touch with some bloggers and invite them to an informal meet-up. There were about 15 or so of us at Bo’s Coffee on Osmeña, including Max Limpag and Wilson Ng.
It was Manny Pacquiao’s fight against Diaz, and it had been raining, but the Cebu-based bloggers (some turned out to be originally from Zamboanga, Iligan, Dumaguete…) made time for the get-together. Max and the others said it was the first time that bloggers were in one place at one time. ••• Read on»
What is the driving force behind all these blogging-related activities that I’ve been organizing since last year? Honestly, it’s all about content generation. 
See, it’s not easy to keep writing and updating one’s blog (let alone multiple blogs, for some of us who maintain more than one or two). So why not create bloggable happenings?
Very recently — although this involved only one blogger and two amateur photographers — we did a photo shoot of the newly-constructed Bankerohan Bridge. And this type of activity is something I’d like to see more of (especially now that the camera bug has bitten me…).
