I’ve just found out about a Cape Town based Wordpress group:

The Wordpress Meetups Cape Town is a monthly gathering of Wordpress enthusiasts, developers, hackers, designers and other interested in learning and sharing Wordpress knowledge. We aim to solve problems, push the boundaries of Wordpress usage and generally make noise about all things Wordpress related.

A group of guys and gals geeking out over Wordpress for three hours once a month? I’m so there.

The next meeting is on the 28th May - 4pm at the Bandwidth Barn. Find out more here.

Wordpress, my love.

I’m having an affair. And my wife isn’t happy about it. You see, I’ve been spending every spare minute I have with Wordpress. It’s been a while since I designed or coded anything, but a short while ago I decided to get a personal website up (for shit’s and giggles). I downloaded Wordpress 2.5, and it was love at first sight site.

So, here are a few reasons why I’m so infatuated with it:

  • Quick install - 5 minutes - seriously!
  • Support - more than you could ever need.
  • No PHP experience needed - just look who’s talking!
  • Easy to reskin - look around.
  • Beautiful - inside and out.
  • Complies with web standards
  • Powerful - packed to the brim with features

I’m absolutely convinced that Wordpress is the PERFECT solution for personal and small business websites.
