I must confess that I did not take as active a role today as I had hoped. Katie and I had intentions of taking part in the round table discussions this afternoon, but alas, life got in the way.

The first presentation was about using Windows Live to write for your blog even when you do not have an internet connection. Brett Bumeter was the presenter and he did a great job of covering the ins and outs of the software. It is pretty impressive how this free software allows you to see how your blog post will look in your theme even when you are offline.

Today was the first day of WordCamp Birmingham, and what a day it was. It all started with a great presentation by a WordPress Developer Emeritus, named Dougal Campbell . It was very interesting to see how Wordpress has progressed from release to release.
