John Saddington at Atlanta WordCamp
Are you new to WordPress? We will spend the hour on basics then we will break for 15 minutes before our WordPress Technical Meetup starting at 7:30.
You are welcome to stay for the second meetup at no extra charge, but if you are not familiar with WordPress and are not at all technical then it may be over your head and you are welcomed to sneak on out.

With WordCamp Birmingham so close to our meeting date we will forgo the meeting this month.
There are already 11 speakers and of course Matt Mullenweg will be the keynote speaker.

This is a Saturday and Sunday event (September 26 & 27th). I’m looking for a hotel that will be close to both venues and think I can get a room discount with 10 or more rooms.
I urge everyone to attend this event. Saturday will be the big day with an 8am registration:
so get there early.

Mashup Night!
We will connect with 2 blog networks that will propagate your posts to your profile and to friends in your network.
You will need ftp access to your site and/or access to – edit or widgets on your site.
So bring your laptop/netbook.
Connect to MSN/Bing
Will Bing over take Google? I don’t thinks so, not this year anyway. But it will be an important aspect to any seo work because of it’s new relationship with Yahoo.
We will make a direct connection with our WordPress site and Bing that will almost guarantee an indexing (not a positioning). We will add a plugin for this. You will also be able to duplicate this process with Google as well.
What you will need:
Wordpress 2.7+ or 2.8+ on your host
a hotmail or msn email account
We have a lot of work cut out for us so get their early if you need extra time.
Look forward to seeing you all there.

This meeting will be about how to find the write plugin that’s safe & secure and installing. OK there may also be a top 10 list, but the idea is finding plugins that will compliment your site.
I would like everyone to talk and give a demo of their top 1 or 2 plugins or widgets.
There are over 4,000 plugins and widgets:
How do you choose the right one for you?
Which ones are the standard you want on every site?
How can you optimize them for your site?
