I attended the 3rd WordPress Cape Town meetup held at the Bandwidth Barn last night and it really was excellent. At least 50 people turned up during the evening and a couple of really cool sponsors saw to the snacks, food, drinks and t-shirts!
From imod:
A big thumbs up to the following sponsors who made the event happen: Nomad-One, FormFunction, Frogfoot Networks, Radiiate, WorldWideCreative & Butlers Pizza. Without these great sponsors, events like this would never be as amazing!
Personally I enjoyed Adii’s and Rafiq’s talks the most. Adii for his total enthusiasm for WordPress and Rafiq for handing out some really cool tips on SEO for your blog.
Also a big up to Nur from nomad-one.com for organising the event and giving me a quick spot to announce Wordcamp South Africa that will be happening in Cape Town on the 23rd of August. Check out the blog for information or get in touch with me and I’ll let you know whats happening.
Once again, attending these events makes for great networking opportunities and I got to meet Joey from FormFunction, Paul from the WorldWideCreative crew, Marcel the magician, Ashley Shaw, Nur and a few others. (Sorry if I’ve forgotten someone). Also spotted the regulars, imod, Rafiq, adii and foxinni.
There will be a few pics up this evening of the event, and I’ll update this post when they available.
Can’t wait for the next meetup!
Update! The pics are up at Paul’s Photostream.

And you’re not sharing the tips here?
Perhaps next time there could be guidance for those of us who need to make the move from blogger to wordpress and are struggling to find the time to do it :)

@Jason – It was good meeting you too Jason, we’re looking forward to Wordcamp an will put our efforts into supporting it.
@ Darren – we were planning an intro session for the wordpress newbies, but they seemed so interested in the more advanced sessions it kinda never happened. Let us know if you need help making the switch.
