I signed up to to to WordPress WordCamp Orange County 2014 as soon as I heard about it. I was so excited. I’ve read reviews of other WordCamps and always told myself I’d attend when there was one in my area. I have four blogs and a website on WordPress and since I’m pretty darn committed to the platform, I figure I should understand it as well as possible.
Plus, it’s affordable–$40! Where can you learn anything at a conference for only $40!
Then I checked out the Sessions–
- How to Sell WordPress
- The Future of WordPress E-Commerce Technologies
- Designing a Theme in a Browser
- Functions.php vs Plugins: The Ultimate Battle
What do these topics even mean? How do I pick one to attend if I don’t even understand what they’re saying?
OK, to be honest, I understand the words–ECommerce, Theme, Plugins, php–but string them into a goal. Good grief.
Anyone going? You want to translate for me?
