Remember, I’m a geek and I live a traveling geek life. Commercial, spectator spots ain’t my thang. I assume they are some sports team in Portland.
But if you want to talk about the incredible open source geek community in Portland and their expert teams, I’m there.
I love Portland’s powerful coders, hackers, and programming community.
A screen capture video version of my entire talk “Using WordPress in Alternate Configurations” is now available on my blog for anyone and everyone to watch. The video is accompanied by an article with code examples and links to the different tools I used:
