A visitor to InJersey, Jim Parker, just let me know about a video of my presentation at WordCamp NYC that’s up on the web. In it, I recap what we’re trying to do with hyperlocal jounalism on InJersey, as well as the software we’re using here — WordPress and BuddyPress. Many thanks to Jim for the head’s up, as well as the kind soul who shot this. Enjoy!

Today I spoke at WordCamp NYC about what we’re building out here on InJersey. WordPress is the software that makes InJersey possible, and my talk focused on how we use it here, as well as how we employ BuddyPress to help build up and communicate with our network of community bloggers.
It was a great session — despite being held at 5pm, very near to the end of the day, when I imagine most attendants were more interested in getting their drink on than in learning about hyperlocal journalism. Still, I’m still flattered that we had such great attendance and such engaging questions. Thanks to everyone who turned out, and please, don’t be shy about shooting me any and all questions about how we use WordPress.
Here are the slides from my talk:
One of the things that Day 1 of WordCamp has inspired me to do is upgrade BuddyPress to the latest version. Please excuse any wonky behavior while I set out to do this in the next day.
