Conference season is once again upon us, and this year I’ve got a few different places on my schedule. However, no place is as special as the Designer Developer Workflow Conference (D2WC) in Kansas City, Mo. D2W is my favorite conference because it brings together all of my favorite people and favorite topics. For those who don’t know, this conference is all about workflow. That means you’re going to get a ton of info on how to work more efficiently in your daily designer or developer routine.

The Game is Changing. You Should Be Too.
I’ve tried to write this article several different ways. In fact, this is probably the tenth revision so far. This time, however, I’m simply going to shoot from the hip and say what I feel. As many of you know the world of graphic design is something that is constantly evolving. Though some principles remain the same, the game is changing. Unfortunately, I don’t see a vast majority of designers changing with it. For decades the worlds of print and web design have resided safely in their own respective neighborhoods. Print lived in a high-rise penthouse, while web chilled out in a studio loft. Well, nowadays the web community is “movin’ on up” and the distinction between print design and web design is become increasingly difficult to discern. I’m of the opinion that we should no longer try to separate each other into categories like print or web, but merely call ourselves designers as a whole.
My First Series for Lynda.com
Well, the day has finally come when I can announce my first series with Lynda.com! Yep, that’s right as of this morning my first series entitled “Creating and Managing a Blog Network with WordPress” is now LIVE in the Lynda.com Online Training Library. Whew, does it feel good to finally say that out loud!
This course is 3+ hours of instruction on how to create, install, and manage a WordPress Multisite installation, so if you’ve ever been curious about Multisite or if you’re just looking to brush up on your skills, feel free to check it out! I’m very proud of this class and hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed developing and recording it. As I said, this is my first course with Lynda.com, but hopefully not my last.
WordPress for Photographers Workshop
Starting on November 29, 2011 I will be doing a 3 day workshop for CreativeLIVE.com on WordPress for Photographers. This is a jam-packed class that will take photographers step-by-step through creating a web presence using one of today’s hottest content management platforms. I’m very passionate about both WordPress and photography, and I understand the need to have a stellar web presence… Especially if you’re trying to attract new clients or sell your work! That’s why I’m presenting this workshop, so that the “everyday photographer” can see how easy it is to get up and running with WordPress and create a site that conveys your message properly to your audience.
