What to Expect at WordCamp Birmingham

I have to say, I am a bit envious of Marco as the talks available this weekend have definitely piqued my interest.

That’s the beauty of WordCamp; there is something for everyone at these events. For instance, this year in Birmingham brings:

• Blogging, Even if You Think You Can’t Write
  Blogging is often fun while at the same time contributing to building a brand. In this talk, Aida Marie Correa goes over different types of blogs and how they can help you even if you’re not a strong writer.

  Here is something I would love to sit in on. Patrice Turner demonstrates how you can write and schedule three months worth of blog posts in a single day. For those who are busy like myself, this is incredibly intriguing.

  We all face writer’s block and have issues coming up with content ideas. One way to get around that is to explore what drives your audience. Sylvie Stacy talks about letting user-generated content work for you and the website.

  Keeping yourself efficient is key to success whether you’re a blogger or operate an online store. Mickey Mellen goes over a variety of tools to help you get more done throughout the day.
