Welcome to our Web design blog, where we cover topics that may affect you and your business such as Web design, the search engines, or general musings. Enjoy.
On Wednesday, June 23, we hosted a the second in our free business seminar series in downtown Ladysmith for the business community hosted by the Ladysmith Downtown Business Association. It was a great success with about 40 attendees! Thank you to all who attended.
The car journey down from Ladysmith with a fellow “WordPresser” to WordCamp Victoria 2010 generated some exciting conversation as this was both our first WordCamp and we didn’t know what to expect. Connie is a local artist, web designer and WordPress enthusiast who was great company all day, especially as co-pilot on the mad dash home to return the rental car in time!
WordCamps are informal, community-organized events for people interested in WordPress, a gold standard CMS tool. Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other.
With several clients already on WordPress, this was an excellent opportunity not only to learn about the upcoming release of WordPress 3 but to learn more about what this tool has to offer businesses and how we can implement WordPress-based solutions for them.
We attended the following sessions:

All in all, a thoroughly worthwhile event, not only for the inspiration it gave me but the ideas and possibilities to develop Paul Mycroft Design further.
The key to a successful seminar presentation is preparation.
There is nothing worse than turning up to a location and finding that you have forgotten a key piece of equipment or that there is no internet access when you need it. Your attendees have given up their valuable time and expect to see a professional and slick presentation. Or at least what you promised.
We have come up with a great checklist that should help you avoid any pitfalls and make your presentation go as smoothly as possible. People remember a great seminar but never forget a bad one.
