A few months ago, I went and checked out WordCamp Dallas/Fort Worth. It was an amazing time and I managed to meet a ton of bloggers and WordPress fanatics. If you’ve never heard of a WordCamp, I HIGHLY recommend checking one out.

In a nutshell, a WordCamp is a conference devoted to WordPress. You’ll hear from various speakers about plugins, themes, and much more. You might even get a chance to listen to the founder of WordPress talk about what’s happening in the near future. Best of all, they’re really cheap to attend.

Here’s a list of WordCamps that are happening in the next few months:

When it comes to blogging, Tim Ferriss is a perfect example of someone who knows what they’re doing. He uses web analytics and experiments to figure out what works and what doesn’t. He also knows exactly what he wants to get from his blog.

Tim was one of the speakers at the San Francisco WordCamp this year and did an amazing presentation on blogging without killing yourself. He touched base on what he uses his blog for, what he does to get the best results, and also answered some questions from the audience.

We highly recommend watching this video as it contains some great tips on blogging. The length comes in at just over 50 minutes but it’s well worth it to take the time to watch the whole thing.
