Wordcamp PDX was here

by Metroknow on September 30, 2008

WordCamp Portland has come and gone, and what a fine time it was. I wrote about it on OurPDXNetwork – Here’s the link: WordCamp Portland was Waaaaay better than WordCamp [Insert your lame city here].

The article was my first post on OurPDXNetwork, and I must say I am really excited about the opportunity to write with such a great group. OurPDXNetwork is a relatively new site in Portland, but they are really making a decent splash. I’ve been following a number of writers who contribute to OurPDXNetwork for quite some time now, including PAgent, who is one of my long time favorites.

One of the highlights from WordCamp has to be Betsy Richter’s 10 Commandments for Group Bloggers, a list which really does distill the principles of blog collaboration into 10 easily digestible bites. I highly recommend it if you have aspirations of working as a team on a blog project.

I took a handful of classically mundane photos, but here’s one that I love, not for the content, but for the tape:

That is Badass. That is Portland.

We are *so lucky* to have you writing with us now, and I’m grateful that you decided to add us to your list of too many projects!

Hey there Betsy! The feeling is likewise – the thing you’ve put together on OurPDX is already excellent, and such a great platform to get to talk with others about the local goings-on. Thanks again.
