We have fantastic addition to our Speaker line-up for WordCamp Raleigh with Patrick O’Keefe, founder of iFroggy Network, a network of websites covering various interests.

Session:

“Building Community Around Your WordPress Blog”

Blogs can be communities – in fact, most of the most visited blogs on the internet are communities.

Learn how you can encourage the community around your WordPress blog to grow.

This presentation will include things you can do within the blog format, new features and add-ons you can install and how blogs and deeper community areas, like forums, can benefit from one another.
