Lorelle VanFossen gave a fairly short lecture a few weeks ago at WordCamp 2008 in San Francisco entitled 260 Ways to Break WordPress. She didn’t exactly give 260 ways to break WordPress, but she certainly told a story about how Liz Strauss managed this feat! And she makes some good points about how we all manage to break things.

During the discussion she covers top WordPress plugins and themes, some WordPress annoyances, ways to help foster a community on your site, and much more as only Lorelle can. Enjoy!

This is pretty cool. I’ve really got no idea who or what this site is, but there was an article published called “NxE’s Fifty Most Influential ‘Female’ Bloggers” and three of my friends, Cali Lewis, Liz Strauss and Lorelle VanFossen, were included.

I’m proud of all of them, and would encourage everyone to pay close attention to these ladies – each of which clearly matter far more than me, so what the heck are you doing still reading this?

Today I’ll be attending WordCamp Dallas, which Charles Stricklin and I jointly organized. We’ve got a whole line up of fantastic speakers including Matt Mullenweg, Jonathan Bailey, Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell, Liz Strauss, Lorelle VanFossen, Chris Smith, Aaron Brazell, Jacob Santos, and Mark Ghosh.

If you’re one of the WordCamp attendees and you happen to be sitting in the lecture hall reading along as I stand here on stage, well… deja vu! Otherwise, for my normal readers here comes a list of 45 Ways to Power Up Your Blog!

Incidentally, the actual video of this lecture is available here. It seems to now have some historical significance because of the introduction of Woopra in the last three minutes.

This is the one hour long lecture given by Lorelle VanFossen at the WordCamp 2007 conference in San Francisco, CA two weeks ago on the topic of Kicking Ass Content Connections. In order to put it up in decent quality I had to break it into two parts.

Lorelle gave this lecture from 1pm-2pm on July 21, 2007 at the Swedish American Hall. She went immediately after lunch, and it was a good thing because normally you get that “after lunch” energy lull – but not with Lorelle presenting! As you can see from the video she is a bundle of energy and was by far the biggest challenge for me to keep the camera on.
