Denver Wordcamp

I attended wordcamp in Denver yesterday.  Wordcamp is Wordpress event that helps introduce bloggers and developers to the features of Wordpress, the community that is built around Wordpress, and other bloggers / developers in your area.  It was a great event, hosted at DAM (Denver Art Museum).  The content will be published on Wordpress.tv (Every session was filmed).

A few things that I learned:  

Carrington theme (which is misleading as it is more then a theme) looks awesome.  It modifies a bunch of wordpress functionality making some of the theming pains experienced by developers go away.  The big feature of it is the ability to apply themes simply based on tag/categories/author/roles/post/pages/etc .  You can find more info here.

Wordpress has a very healthy community.  There are many developers(150 developers contributed to 2.7), millions of hits on wordpress blogs per day, both on wordpress.com and single installs.  The second largest blog on wordpress.com is CNN…the largest, http://icanhascheezburger.com/  

Wordpress: A Blog, a CMS, or a social network?  Wordpress has more flexibility then I have ever given it credit for.  With projects like Buddy Press (Which in Matt’s own words he says Automattic is ‘long’ on buddy press) wordpress shows that is more then just a blog, really it is a great core to build anything on. 

Check http://central.wordcamp.org/ for a list of upcoming wordcamps.  If there is one in your area, I recommend attending it.
