WordPress Plugins, Google Wave — There’s a busy month ahead!

(Reading time: 3 – 4 minutes)

Once again, a Sunday post.

Normally, I would wait until Week in Review… but as they say, “strike while the iron is hot.”

Sunday is supposed to be a day off around these parts, but so much is happening so fast, that it’s just impossible to keep up. However, some things are important, and these opportunities just went to the top of my stack.

So it’s time to stack::pop and get busy.

• Startup Weekend is back in the Bay Area, bigger and better than ever. At least Sue Kim and I are registered and will be continuing development on Sue’s warddrobe management application. Read more about the Friday evening Proposal, the Saturday Prototype and The Sunday evening Pitch from the Startup Weekend Women 2.0 event. Michael will probably attend. Olya is off doing her own thing.

  As a result of this, I may do less blogging and more coding, both on WordPress plugins and Ruby on Rails. On the other hand, the blogging might get considerably more technical real fast. We’ll see.

• I got my Google Wave invitation. Do I need to say any more?
• Guest post slots here on WIAW are partly filled in November; Mondays November 9th and 30th are still open. If you have an article on WordPress or WordPress-related that doesn’t fit with your blog, consider sending it along. Likewise for an “oldie but goodie” you would like to see get more traction.
• Surf season is underway! Fall is the best in San Francisco. I’m already missing a fair bit of the current season, I’d like to catch a few waves. We’ll see.
• I understand blog commenting has a – de facto – quid pro quo aspect, and I plan on having some newsletter notes on this (empty email to wp-weekend.wave@aweber.com if you aren’t getting the news, remember to opt-in).

  In the short term, not leaving comments may hurt my traffic.

  In the long term, not so much. Most of what I write of is aimed square at generating traffic for the long term, from lessons learned on There Is No Box. It turns out that if you have solid content with longevity, search engines will keep you fairly well indexed.

  I plan on keeping up with comments here. I’ll do my best to keep up with everyone else.

This is probably more than any one single human could possibly do, but then again, 6 months I had no idea I could crank out a week’s worth of blog posts in a day and half.

Are you a wanna be WordPress Plugin programmer? Want some help getting started? Be the first person to ask in the comments, I’ll cut you in a couple of hours Q & A this week; Skype or gmail chat works great! (Offer ends 29 October 2009)
