I attended Wordcamp Mid-Atlantic on 11 September 2010. Here’s what I took away from the day.

  • Think of yourself as a publisher.
  • Evergreen content is better than news content when building an authority site.
  • In general, SEO is about inbound links from “authority” sites combined with great content.
  • Caching is very important for speed and reliability.
  • The best way to meet people at a conference is to walk right up to them and introduce yourself.
  • Most bloggers seem to come from the tech side not the content side.
  • No one has all the answers. The smartest people actually know what questions to ask
  • Think of SEO as a long term strategy not a quick fix.
  • Platforms are just that – platforms. They enable online publishing. It’s not Wordpress vs. Moveable Type. They all do the same thing and enable content publishing.
  • Publish now. Prepare for the future. Don’t wait. Work, work, work.
