I was for a while thinkin how I can contribute to the community. Open Source project could be one. I shall consider this blog as a service to community when it gets more traffic then it does now. So I sitting here at WordCamp (see previous post) and the fine folks at WordPress do solicit help at their documentation area. I think I might consider using ViViD to diagram some of their lessons.
I am sitting at the WordCamp, a two days get together. This is sponsored by WordPress.com and certain presentations are WordPress oriented. Some, not all. For 25 bucks you get so much that it is Ok with me that they do some self-promotion.
First day an interesting sessions were two. First was a panel of John Dvorak and Om Mailk, and I lerned some useful stuf from it. One is that Bloggers should not use
Matt Cutts, SEO engineer from Google, did presentation on SEO blog optimization. Nicely done. To the point, yet entertaining. One thing to remember is to use ALT tags in images. Another to use keywords as part of URL.
There was one very technical presentation about usability, not too interesting for me. There was one interesting fact menitoned. Google did A/B testing and expand number of search results from default 10 to 25. In 3 hours they lost 3 million of search advertising worth. People don't like waiting. People don't like scrolling.
