DESCRIPTION:[img:http://portland.beerandblog.com/files/2009/09/wordcamp.j
 pg] [http://www.wordcampportland.org]Very soon — this Saturday and Sun
 day\, to be exact — a mass of bloggers will pack the conference rooms 
 of Webtrends [http://www.webtrends.com/] for the 2009 WordCamp [http://w
 ww.wordcampportland.org]Portland [http://www.wordcampportland.org]. This
  is a fun and informative couple of days stuffed with opportunities to l
 earn tasty tidbits about the popular open source web site software WordP
 ress [http://www.wordpress.org]. Perhaps you've heard of this WordPress 
 thing? It's a free and mighty powerful content management system that ma
 kes hosting your own blog a snap. And with two solid days of learning su
 ch things [http://www.wordcampportland.org/agenda/] as how to be your po
 dcast’s dom and not its sub\, how to build (and how NOT to build) a WP
  plugin\, and how to make your blog load efficiently\, you know it's goi
 ng to be where all the cool kids are.\n\nTickets have been sold out for 
 weeks (great job Aaron [http://twitter.com/ahockley]\, Betsy [http://twi
 tter.com/betsywhim] and Dale [http://twitter.com/dalechumbley]!!) but if
  you were lucky enough to get your name on the attendees list [http://ww
 w.wordcampportland.org/attendees/] I congratulate you on your good fortu
 ne! Last year I didn't get around to buying my WordCamp ticket before it
  was too late\, and it was torturous seeing my twitter stream inundated 
 with remarks of camp joviality\, WordPress "Ah-ha!" moments\, and links 
 to flickr images of the smiling faces of my fellow bloggers. (OK\, fine.
  I'll admit it. I simmered in silent resentment at some of the more acti
 ve tweeters at last year's WordCamp Portland. But all is forgiven now. M
 ostly.)\n\nWhether or not you've got yourself a ticket\, please join Bee
 r and Blog in extending a warm welcome to several WordPress speakers (an
 d many attendees) for beers and conversation the day before the camp sta
 rting bell rings. We'll be at the Green Dragon. I'll be there\, too\, tr
 ying not to rub salt in the wounds of the ticketless. I feel your pain..
 .and I'll be thinking about the pain Ill be inflicting while I drown my 
 twitter stream in bragging\, gleefull tweets with the excessive use of t
 he #wcpdx [http://twitter.com/#search?q=wcpdx] tag.\n\nYou're welcome.\n
