I had the same thought as JP – beginner/advanced tracks would have suited the day really well.

Really great value in any case – big thanks to all!

Thanks for putting this event on. I picked up some very valuable WP information yesterday. I liked the fact that it covered 101 and advanced. The only request that I would make is maybe list the sessions as 101 and advanced so that you can choose the ones the fit you level of knowledge.

Thanks again for everyone’s time and effort. Great job.

I am really looking forward to this panel.

Like any good CMS, the power of WordPress is that website content is separate from structure and presentation. Things like categories, tags, blog post titles, page titles, Links (Blogroll), blog post body text, images, and so on, all live in the database. They can be inserted into a page or a sidebar anywhere, with whatever CSS styling or HTML markup you like. The possibilities are endless.

You can have a page on your site that displays only blog posts from the “Portfolio” category, with a sidebar that appears only on that page, and you can style images on that page differently than anywhere else on the site. When you add a new image to a “Portfolio” post, you don’t have to do any coding at all. The styles are applied automatically – or automattically, if you like! – because WordPress is great software and WordPress developers like the members of this panel are always innovating and finding new ways to build on what’s been done so far.

Much of this success is due to the efforts of Matt Mullenweg and others to keep WordPress an open-source platform. WordCamps around the world help continue these efforts. Thanks to everyone who’s coming to WordCamp Vancouver for your participation and support. Looking forward to Saturday the 12th!

I’d love to talk about relating different data sets and custom post types. So if we had a music venue we’d have Shows and Artists as post types and how would we relate the two since they are different post types? How about pulling custom taxonomies into different post types and relating them.
