Back in the day, WordPress.com blogs had lots of nifty features that were only available to self-hosted sites through a complicated system of pulleys and levers. Tricking out your self-hosted site with all the features of WordPress.com meant installing and maintaining dozens of individual plugins.
Jetpack is a single plugin that gives you the most powerful WordPress.com features, hooking your self-hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com’s infrastructure to take advantage of robust stats, easy social sharing, and a whole lot more.

Special Invite to Drupal and Joomla Shops
WordCamps draw those interested in WordPress, but they also strive to be welcome places for ANY developer of any platform to learn more on open-source and web related technologies. Open source projects shouldn’t harshly separate open source developers, regardless if they use WordPress or not. Matt Mullenweg lead by example and accepted an invite to speak at the Joomla! World Conference in 2013.
WordCamp Miami wants to follow in that example, we are extending an official invite to any dedicated Drupal and/or Joomla developers to come to WordCamp Miami and be a part of South Florida’s open source community. Not only are we making an official invite, but we have several (read: very limited quantity) of free and/or discounted tickets to any developers or developer shops that work in Drupal and/or Joomla.
So if you are not a WordPress developer, but work with another open-source solution like Drupal or Joomla, please contact miami@wordcamp.org. Again, the qualification is that you are a developer working with a open-source CMS platform that isn’t WordPress. We will review entries on a case by case basis.
But no matter what you develop in – then we would love to have you at one of the biggest local web conferences in Miami and one of the largest WordCamps in the United States.
WordCamp Miami 2015: Kid’s Workshop Announced
Our first WordCamp For Kids last year was awesome. You can read a summary of it here from WPTavern. It was such a success, we decided to bring it back for 2015.
During this special session from 10 am until noon on May 31st 2015 (Sunday), we will walk kids and their parents through the process of setting up a new WordPress.com account and how to get started blogging and publishing content to the Internet. This class is geared towards 8-12 year olds, however, any age is welcome to attend (space permitting). Parents must be present for children under 13 and all attendees must bring a laptop.
IN ADDITION we are wondering if any children would be interested in a slightly more advanced class geared towards coding that involves a simple WordPress site. If your child is familiar with computers and has interest in coding, then please let us know in the below survey.
This is designed to be an interactive class, so participation and questions are welcomed and required. After the workshop, they can stay for lunch, and if they are up for it they are welcomed to go to the other sessions in the afternoon if you are supervising them.
Sign Up Now!
If you are interested, please click here to read more information and sign up. Once we have gauged the interest, we’ll offer tickets on the site and provide additional information (including speakers and volunteers involved).
Thank you, and we can’t wait to repeat another awesome kid’s workshop this year!
