Thanks to Jamie and First Arkansas News for the write up –
Did you know that when you read news from First Arkansas News, you’re reading a site that uses WordPress?
WordPress is an “open source blog tool and publishing platform powered by PHP and MySQL. It’s often customized into a Content Management System (CMS).” That’s computer geek speak for it’s a program that makes blogging and creating websites like this a whole lot easier. It’s user friendly for a whole lot of purposes, which is why it’s become so popular.
A two-day conference in Fayetteville coming later this month is designed for people who use WordPress-or who want to use it. WordCamp Fayetteville is July 30-31. Several staff members from First Arkansas News will be there to learn. The first day of the event will feature breakout sessions, a keynote session and a forum. Participants will be able to chill out together during Saturday night’s After Party. A casual Guru Gallery will close out the two-day event on Sunday.
