Whatever your means of innovating, creating or making a difference, you still need to get your message out there.<\/p>\n

Today at Cal State L.A., WordCamp Los Angeles<\/a> showed several hundred people how to do exactly that.<\/p>\n

For “Foundation Friday” of this weekend’s WordCamp LA, organizers offered three tracks: business, design and WordPress beginner workshops.\u00a0 Attendees could mix and match sessions–and did, learning about everything from WordPress basics to Web design and marketing.\u00a0\u00a0 Speakers engaged in moderated dialogues, panels and short lecture presentations, giving their audiences plenty of takeaways.<\/p>\n

“Don’t use passwords associated with you,” WordPress Evangelist Suzettte Franck warned a capacity crowd in the beginner workshop session on “Backups and Security”.<\/p>\n

“Meetup group is one of the best social media sites,” commented Social Media Mastermind Orange County<\/a> Founder Bob Watson, during a “Sales and Marketing” moderated discussion, “and one of the most overlooked.”<\/p>\n

“There are about thirty thousand plugins available for free, from WordPress.org,” said Web Training Wheels<\/a> creator Lucy Beer, guiding her audience through an “Introduction to Plugins” workshop.<\/p>\n

Unbelievably, WordPress has now been around for eleven years, according to social media manager and photographer Adam Silver, of Silver Lining Productions.\u00a0 And if the sold-out three-day WordCamp event is any indication, it’s going stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Day Two of WordCamp L.A., will include sessions ranging from “Philosophical WordPress Development” to “WordPress SEO in 2014”, with workshops on legal issues, monetization and troubleshooting among the day’s twenty-four sessions.\u00a0 There will also be a “Happiness Bar” with WordPress experts on hand to answer questions, a “Selfie Scavenger Hunt” and an “After Party” on Saturday evening.\u00a0 Then, on Sunday, attendees have a chance to say “thank you” for WordPress’s free services–by participating in a “Contribution Sunday” work session.<\/p>\n

While the event is sold out (and each of the three on-campus workshop venues were pretty full), WordCamp L.A.’s site<\/a> offers several ways to find out if anyone has an extra ticket.<\/p>\n

And if you’d like to attend a future WordCamp, here’s a list <\/a>of upcoming ones, from WordCamp Central–including one in San Francisco, next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
