Posted by Shari on Jul 15, '08 12:34 PM for everyone

Repost from blog; link to sponsors over there

It’s finally happening. After long years of being a WordPress user-slash-buff and exchanging WordPress gibberish with Aja during our late-night geeky chats years ago, discussing articles from the Codex (I knoooowwww…how…geeky…hehe…Aja is my WordPress “mentor,” so all hail Aja and his plugins! heh), and basically being our usual dorky selves, WordCamp Philippines 2008 has “arrived,” thanks to the people behind Mindanao Bloggers. Of course I’m not about to waste this chance. It’s a go!

Topics like Video and Mobile Blogging and Blog Monetization make me wonder why Web Standards and Web Accessibility are not in the list of “considered topics.” They’re not even exactly as “advanced” as vlogging and moblogging are, since they basically deal with correctly structuring HTML documents in the first place. They’re not even hard to do; in fact, documents that are standards and accessibility compliant are hundred times easier to build and manage than documents with randomly placed and unclosed tags. The WordPress Default theme itself takes web standards and web accessibility into account.

Maybe someday PWAG or, errrr, the forever-hiatus Web Standards Philippines group, will be able to present their “arguments” before people who won’t get bored with stuff like those and become “responsible netizens,” whatever that means.

Because...it's normally a free day? DITCH, AJA, DITCH!!! We need you. Ia is suggesting a meet-up for Web Standards Philippines group during WordCamp day. Seems like the organizers has noted this blog entry, and are considering web standards and web accessibility to be included in the roster of topics.

Let's! It's on Sept 6 pa naman. Cancel all your appointments. File a leave of absence. Haha.

C'mon! Y'know you want to. It's the FIRST WORDCAMP in the Philippines. You wouldn't want to miss it, right? *nudge nudge* Besides, it's about time we all meet up. Hmm, that reminds me. Must text Lexie as well. =D

Um, what if I'm not a WP user anymore? :( It sounds really interesting and all, and I do want to go - but I recently switched to EE. ;)

Well, why not? Besides, you were once a power user anyway :p I didant know you switched to EE. I was waiting for the moved notice *dot dot dot* so I had no idea. But geesh, you're, like, great or something. Hehe.

GO!

That's what really pushed me. Besides the desire to welcome Matt to my home country. Haha. Have you read the end of my blog post? I really want/need his signature. LOL

Edi tanungin mo nga. :P Papayag naman yun eh, mas lalo na kung sabihin mo, "Matt, can you please sign my excuse letter? I sacrificed a whole day of class just to meet you!"

Naka-sulat na nga un sa script ko. Naisip ko kanina parang, "Matt, will you autograph my excuse letter?" Casual lang wahaha. Seseryosohin ko yan. ROFL

Bakit, seryoso din ako ha? Haha. Promise, kailangan natin i-ambush si Matt. Opportunity na natin to :)
