Hi all! We’ve still been meeting, even though I haven’t been posting here (Meetup.com really is great for, well, organizing meetups!). However, we have decided NOT to hold a December meeting, as our normal meeting night would have been December 26.
Enjoy the holiday season, and the newly released WordPress 3.3! We’ll see you on January 23, 2012.
The agenda is TBA, but please note our NEW LOCATION at the U.S. Bancorp Tower, 111 SW 5th Avenue (Big Pink). The conference rooms are on the ground floor, northeast side of the building, right before the elevator bank for floors 1-17. We’ll still start at 6:00 and end at 7:30.

John, Where do I find more information about the WordPress class? I’d like to sign up. Thanks,
Tom (tcocklin@mac.com)
I’m holding a WordPress class March 23rd in Wilsonville, OR – check out the details at http://www.equineonlinedesign.com/wp-class!
I am new to WordPress – how do I join your group?
I am hoping to talk to people about Buddypress. I am planning a site and would welcome some input on the best way to structure what I have in mind.
Enjoyed this meeting, a lot of good info in developer portion I attended. As a possible topic(s) for the next meeting or couple of meetings is Custom Post Types, Custom Write Panels and certain plugins that help with these tasks such As WP Easy Post Type and Magicfields.
Thanks again the great meeting…..
I remember someone at the Sept. meeting asking about this type of issue, Custom layouts for the editor, and thought this article on Smashing might be of use. So here you go…whoever you were!

Was wondering if any plans to hold a class on installing WP on Ubun
tu Server?
Hey, nice site. Do you do anything else for WordPress sites?|Hey, nice site. Do you do other WordPress sites?
I absolutely adore your blog! Check out my blog at Tester
A lot of people are now getting into online businesses and online marketing either to supplement their “real world” income
Thank you to all who attended the August meeting!
For more information about WordCamp Portland (and tickets), visit http://wordcampportland.org. They’re especially looking for volunteers and sponsors right now. You can also follow WordCamp Portland on Twitter.
Thank you to Benjamin Kerensa for talking with us about O’Reilly Media’s user group program and Ubuntu Oregon (we also have video of this portion of the meeting). I’ve submitted a group application for the user group program, and will hopefully have more to share by the next meeting.
We’re currently looking for speakers and meeting topics for upcoming meetings. If you have ideas or leads, you can either leave them in the comments here or on the Meetup.com discussion board.
Thank you, and Happy WordPressing!
I still feel like I’m new at WordPress and would like to have a discussion about best WordPress practices, both designers and developers. Those insights that keep you from wanting to drive over your keyboard and then back-up to smash it again.
I’m not sure that the urge to destroy peripherals ever completely disappears 
Kathleen, you are a rock star for all the hard work you’ve done in helping to get this group rockin’ and rollin’. Thank you so much for everything you do for us.
Another link to add to resources is the much requested article on WordPress Tips: Exploring the WordPress Text Widget. It was requested at the previous meeting as well as this one and I just made time to finish it. Thanks to everyone for the inspiration and kick in the butt to get it done.
Hi, I’m a local website designer/developer who has been working primarily with WordPress over the last few years. I am interested in teaching some courses about best WordPress practices, customizing a WP site, use of plugins, etc… for the non-techie WP user. I stumbled across this site while doing some research and thought someone on here might have some feedback for me.
Thanks
Join us August 22 at 6:00 p.m. at Nedspace Downtown!
Benjamin Kerensa from Ubuntu Oregon will tell us about book review opportunities through O’Reilly Media as well as Ubuntu Oregon partnership opportunities.
We’ll hear from members of the WordCamp Portland team about sponsorship and volunteering (tickets are available NOW, by the way!).
We’ll also have unstructured time for networking and information-gathering. We do have a request for information about WordPress security (i.e., keeping your sites from getting hacked), so if anyone has good information about that, we’d love to hear from you!
Thank you, James! I’ll add the link to my recap post.
Here are some resources for WordPress beginners — we’re using this as a starting point for the July 25, 2011 meeting discussion.
The WordPress Codex: This is the user’s guide to WordPress. On the Getting Started with WordPress page, there’s a section of links specifically for beginners. I recommend First Steps with WordPress as a good introduction. WordPress Lessons is also a good place for basic information.
WordPress.tv: If you like videos, this is the place for you. You can view tutorials on a wide variety of subjects as well as sessions from WordCamps around the world! If you’re looking for the basics, try the How-To section.
Aaron Hockley on how to launch a blog: Aaron did this presentation both for us and at WordCamp Seattle. You can view both his slide deck and his original post on this topic.
Jump in at WordPress.com: If you just want to play around with WordPress, this is a great way to get started. You don’t need to buy a domain; just create an account on WordPress.com and go! You do have some limitations on WordPress.com — for instance, you are limited to the themes in their directory, and you can’t really play around with the CSS or use plugins. But you can learn how the admin panel works and get some practice creating posts and pages!
The July 25th meeting was incredible. I’m so sorry you had a conflict. It was a packed house and we divided up into three groups, beginners, intermediate (themes), and advanced (writing Plugins and developing code and core). A brilliant chance for people to get their specific questions answered, work with each other to solve problems, and learn from each other. Fantastic!!! Let’s do this again very soon.
For the July 25th meeting, we’ll have announcements (including more details about WordCamp Portland), and then split into two groups — one to discuss WordPress basics, and how to find basic information and tutorials, and another for developers who want to get code-y (and talk about a possible hackathon or separate meeting).
As always, we’ll be at Nedspace Downtown at 6:00 p.m. If you arrive before 6:00, enter the front door and ring the bell at the inner door. If you arrive after 6:00, you’ll need to call the number posted on the door.
Are you wondering about how copyright affects your blog? How can you find images to use on your site while respecting the photographer’s copyright? Curious about how much trouble you could find yourself in if you use an image without permission?
Photographer and blogger Aaron Hockley will discuss Copyright for Bloggers at this month’s meeting. With many years of experience as both a photographer and a blogger, you’ll learn:
The presentation will likely run about 30 minutes with time for questions and answers as well.
Aaron Hockley is a Vancouver, Washington photographer and blogger who spends a lot of time thinking and writing about the intersection of those two activities. He has presented at BlogWorld & New Media Expo, several WordCamps, and other user groups and panels throughout the Northwest.
Note: Aaron’s not a lawyer, and this session is not intended as legal advice.
Hi – I will not be able to be there for the meeting this evening. But PCC CLIMB is offering a few Summer Classes that I thought people may be interested in. Let me know if you have any questions about these or any other classes that CLIMB offers.
Have a great meeting!

Thanks so much for making these available. I missed it and was so delighted to know I didn’t miss anything – LOL! No, that with these I wouldn’t miss a second. Thanks!
Apparently the comment box didn’t like me putting both urls in one comment, so I’ll post them separately.
Link one – Aaron Hockley gave a concise update on the state of the Portland WordCamp coming in September.
You can download the recording here.

The main part of the meeting ran about an hour and a half. It was fascinating and my thanks go out to Aaron for letting me make this recording available to the group.
The recording is broken into 2 mp3s, both about 45 minutes long. They can both be downloaded at

Local developer and artist Michael Fields will be giving a short talk on WordPress plugins he finds useful, and then we’ll be opening up the discussion to find out which plugins are your favorites! So be prepared to show and tell (NOTE: any plugins discussed at the meeting should be licensed under a GPL-compatible license).
Join us at Nedspace Downtown, 920 SW 3rd Avenue at 6:00 p.m.
DOOR INFORMATION: If you arrive before 6:00, the outer door will be unlocked — just come in and ring the bell by the inner door for NedSpace. If you arrive after 6:00, the outer door will be locked and someone will have to let you in (we’ll post a cell phone number). So if you’re able to arrive before 6:00, that would be great!
Oh, darn! Have we usually met on Mondays in the past? (I thought it was Thursday). This conflicts with the monthly meeting of the Adobe User Group for Photoshop and Illustrator that I manage.
We just recently changed it. Unfortunately, there are lots of conflicts out there! :-/
Due to semi-popular demand, we’ve decided to try a new meeting day this month. Instead of meeting on the third Thursday, we’ll be meeting on Monday, April 25 at Nedspace Downtown, 920 SW 3rd Avenue.
Join us on April 25 for a chance to win a free pass to the
So does that mean that the May meeting will be held on on May 23rd?
Yes. Yes, it does.
I just posted it on the front page. But I’m having permalink issues, apparently.
Hey! We’re having a St. Patrick’s Day meeting. We’ll be talking about WordCamp Seattle, the Open Source Bridge conference in Portland, and using WordPress to do good (like, using it to quickly set up a website for a good cause). I’ll bring the Girl Scout cookies. Bring your thoughts, questions and tips as well!
We’ll be at NedSpace Downtown, 920 SW 3rd Avenue, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. RSVP at either Meetup or Upcoming.

Recently I am seeing double posts on my blog. I’ve not installed any new Plugins but I can’t be sure one is not causing the problem. If I do a search for a specific blog, I only find one post. When I click on Categories, I also find only one post.
Any ideas what may be causing the double post problem?
