JenTekk Blog

This past Wednesday, myself, along with rmd Studio, PeerGlobe and Tazzu, and hosted Vancouver’s first WordPress Camp.

Thanks to Amanda Abrams for this great photo!

We initially estimated around 35 - 40 people attending the event, located at the beautiful Network Hub. However, word got out, and a week before the event, RSVPs starting flooding in - yeah, I commenced to panic!

Phone calls were quickly made to locate a larger venue, but with such short notice none could be found, so we all just ‘pressed’ in.

It is a newly designed, newly functioning WordPress CMS - redesigned from the ground-up. Features include a cool new admin interface, multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, media library.

So… what did you do this weekend? Take a walk by the ocean? Eat at Pajo’s Fish and Chips? Maybe catch some rays at the top of your favorite ski hill? Before I tell you what I did, let me tell you why I did it…

Last week, I’d been notified that this very blog (running on Wordpress Version 2.2.2) was being exploited, and that I needed to upgrade to the latest version.

Now you can guess what I did this weekend. I not only upgraded JenTekk Blog, but also 5 other Wordpress websites to the newly released Wordpress v. 2.3.3 ! Oh yeah, and then I made a bee-line to my favorite tanning salon!

When most people think of WordPress, they think of (open source) software for blogs. It was after all created with blogging in mind… archiving posts by months, categories and subcategories.

WordPress however, is not limited to ‘rolling posts’. Incorporated into the WordPress software is the ability to create ‘pages’ thus allowing customers to use it as a simple website CMS (content management system) rather than a blog… or as both.
