A blog post with the title ‘Translating Genesis’ could’ve easily been about Nephilim and / or Sons of the Gods… but no. Not this time ;-) . This post is about translating the WordPress Genesis Framework into your native tongue.

Looking Forward to WordCamp NL 2010

WordCamp NLNext Saturday will be the 2nd edition of WordCamp NL. Just like last year I’m part of the team of volunteers helping out getting it all organized although my main focus is everything about the site, plus I will be one of the speakers. My talk will be about the use of WordPress Theme Frameworks.

Last year was awesome, but I dare say this edition is going to rock just as much, perhaps even more. We’ve got some great speakers and lots of international WordPress guys showing up. I am very excited to meet international speakers like @Adii (who will also bring along @mjepson and @mark_forrester of @woothemes fame), @Nacin, @w3edge and @JohnONolan and also finally meeting some of the local names like @BoweFrankema and @Milanvanbruggen.Continue reading »
