Leaving Orlando and heading home. Thanks to the #wco11 crew for their hard work putting on a great WordCamp.

Hanging out at the #WCO11 after party.

Spec Work. No. No. No. #wco11

Good sites (IMO) to locate available WordPress freelancers are jobs.wordpress.net and wphired.com. #wco11

Another directory to check out for WordPress developers in certain areas is wpcandy.com/pros. #wco11

Code Poet is a Automattic directory of WordPress professionals. codepoet.com #wco11

You can’t plan a website unless you know what kind of content you are dealing with. Content upfront is critical. #wco11

Form and function are intertwined. So is content. Important to see how different pages interact w/ other pages. Site map helps. #wco11

You (as a client) aren’t your own end user. #wco11

Define what a successful project is to a developer you are potentially hiring. We aren’t mind readers. #wco11

Don’t tell a contractor how to do the job (via tech goals), just come with general goals. Amen to that. #wco11

Damn you #wco11. I just shook off the BBQ coma, and now the sugar coma from the cookie is knocking on my door.

WordCamp Orlando 2011 is a whorehouse of knowledge. #wco11

The bad news about caching plugins with GUIs according to @markjaquith is that clients will find it and mess things up. #wco11

TinyMCE is not a rapper. #wco11

Learning alot from @jakemgold about modifying allowed post tags in the WP editor. Goldmine of info here. #wco11

Various solutions for editing the visual editor. Assign a general css file, and you can style based on post type. #wco11

WP shortcodes along are not intuitive solutions for special features. and are not discoverable. @jakemgold #wco11

I believe there was a #wco11 conspiracy. The location of the BBQ lunch was a secret. Had to resort to following the smell.

Seeing more people using physical notebooks at #wco11 than any other WordCamp. Other wise Macs and iPads glore.

Bill Erickson’s Migration list in #wco11 developer track was mentioned. Here’s the url: bit.ly/anFRzD

A look at the Salon WordPress backend. #WCO11 twitpic.com/7nqfya

Salon has an “Inception Editor” (an editor within an editor). I’m getting out my spinning top just to make sure i’m not dreaming. #wco11
