WordCamp 2012 April 21 at Watkins College

For the past two months I’ve been working away all my spare time helping to organize Nashville’s first WordCamp. It’s been a huge learning experience for me really, I’ve never coordinated an event before. Our team was put together from a group of dedicated local meetup members and a few very helpful staff members from WordCamp Central.

The event this year is being held April 21st @ Watkins College or Art, Design & Film as they were generous enough to sponsor us and let us use their campus as the venue. It’s a great campus that instantly took me back to my college days as a TA and lab tech. Miss those days :p

We have two tracks this year, a User Tack and Developer Track. A little for everyone really, and we have a great sessions planned for each. Check out the Schedule. I know for a fact that I’ll walk away with more information than I can possible retain! It’s aways a good feeling when that happens! We’ll also be handing out cool t-shirt, stickers & wp-swag at registration, though I aways feel a little weird wearing a WordPress t-shirt it’s a really cool design!

We expect to sell out by the day of the event so if you find yourself here thinking, “Maybe I should go?”, well, you should! I guarantee if you’re thinking about using WordPress or you already use it, this is for you. No matter what level you are there will be something for you, even if it’s just the after party!

Yep that’s right we’re having after party where we can all get together and mingle to talk about the cool things we’re working on and other random things. And above all, drink some beer. Hope you can make it out and if you haven’t purchased a ticket yet you most definitely should. We’ll be ordering our shirts soon and you don’t want to accidentally get a x-small if you need x-large :p

has_children() WordPress Function

has_children() WordPress Function

For the longest time I’ve been waiting from WordPress to build this function, but they seem to be busy building awesome things like Custom Post Types, Menus & other Admin features! Truthfully, I should just write the function myself and submit it! I’ve always been afraid to submit to the core.

Anyway, here is a function called has_children. It checks if any posts are using the given post_id as post_parent. There is a post_type paramater so [...] Read More

VC WordPress Theming

VC WordPress Theming

I’ve been developing with WordPress for about 2.5 yrs and this morning I really wanted to write something about all the work that I do, but am realizing that I just don’t know what to say with out writing a freaking book on the DevTime of WordPress. Not to mention there are so many people out there who have already laid down the law on what WordPress is.

So to curb my need to publish I [...] Read More
