adventures of a blogjunkie

I’m really excited and super proud to be a part of the inaugural WordCamp Malaysia! I’ll be presenting at least 1 session. The event will be held on Saturday, 22 May and other details are being finalised at the moment. You can check out http://wordcamp.my for updates.

Due to the delayed release of WP3.0 I won’t be giving my original topic. I’ll be talking about theme frameworks instead. What’s your favourite theme framework and why?

I would like to get your feedback for the topic that I’m presenting. Here’s the outline:

Theme Frameworks: a glimpse into the future of WordPress themes

• What are theme frameworks & what’s so great about them?
• How to create a better blog with theme frameworks
• WP as a CMS, even better with Headway
• How designers & developers can shortcut theming with theme frameworks

Introduction to Hacking WordPress 3.0 Themes

• Discover how the WordPress theme system works
• New features for theme designers in WordPress 3.0
• Learn bare minimum coding for theme designers
• Style comments to identify the blog author
• Add custom header images to your blog (the regular way and the WP3.0 way)
• Enable custom background for your blog
• Menus any way you want with WP3.0’s custom menus

Let me know what you like or don’t like, or even what I should include in my talk. Keep in mind I only have 30 minutes. Thanks, and see you at WordCamp!
