Join me for a WordPress Q&A

Posted Thursday, December 4th, 2008 7:35 am by Dave Moyer

Yeah, I know I’m a bit late. But I wanted to let you all know that I’m going to be doing a special WordPress discussion tonight (Dec. 4) at 9pm Eastern time to who knows when, hosted by Dave Jackson of the School of Podcasting (a site which I had no idea about, but is apparently pretty big!)

Dave dubbed me the “Prince of Plugins”, which is a pretty cool title, I have to say. But I do wonder what I did to earn that! Maybe the other one died and I was like the whiny and pathetic nephew who just happened to be the heir to the throne. (You know, the one in the movies that drives the servants crazy until he falls in love with a girl and everything turns around and the music swells and…)

Anyway, I’d love for you to pop in. Apparently because the SOP is a subscription service, we have to charge for this event, but it’ll be a great time. I’d love to see you there! Tickets are $13.99, and there are four left at the time of this writing.

[insert witty comment this post message here- I'm lazy today.]
