I’m a WordPress Genius

Posted in Personal Rebranding,Site News,Social Media — by Don on 01/18/11

WordCamp Phoenix 2011You’ve seen this over on the side of the blog for sometime now, and since it’s happening in just a few days, I thought I would take a minute to let all y’all know that besides attending, I’m going to be volunteering my skills and knowledge to work the Genius Bar!

Just taking advantage of the opportunities provided to me. If you are going to be in or around the Chandler area on Saturday, January 29th stop by, say hi, and ask a question about WordPress! Or check out any of the great sessions that are scheduled for the day. I think online ticket sales are sold out, but it’s worth checking (click the logo for details).

Who’s going?

The Sunday Post #100: It’s Christmas (almost)!

Posted in Personal,Site News,The Sunday Post — by Don on 12/19/10

It’s that time of year gang. The sun is shining, temps are in the 80s and there is nary a chance of foul weather. Must be Christmas in the Southwest!

The Holiday Post

And, if it’s Christmas, then things around the donburnside.com family of sites start to slow down just a little bit. Those include

While the words aren’t flowing quite as much as they normally do, there is plenty going on behind the scenes. Watch for a brand new donburnside.com coming shortly after the New Year if not a little sooner. As tradition dictactes, those changes will filter down to dbmini.us and White Roof Radio shortly thereafter.

We are hoping to start taking on more projects in 2011. With the relocation to Arizona, there is an entire state that has yet to experience the raw, unadulterated awesome that is produced from donburnside.com, and we think it’s high time they do.

Over at White Roof Radio we will be covering events like it’s nobody’s business. Not to mention trying to get a few more dealer grand opening’s under our belts and a couple of other things that I can’t share at this time.

We aren’t ignoring the motoring blog either! Besides a new layout, there is an entire state left to explore, a new club to join and new dealers to continue to break-in. Plus the continuation of the OP/ED pieces that we love to write.

Finally, in the continuation of the transformation of Wind(the)frog(dot)net, you will begin to see more posts there that are more personal in nature. It will remain the one true blog under the roof with cool links from the internet, words and, of course, the w(t)f video hour which will become a bi-monthly affair.

We certainly hope that all y’all have a great Christmas and fantastic New Years! And thank you for sticking around, commenting, and overall just being the most awesome audience anyone could possibly want.

See you next year!

Adding 1 more to the Portfolio

Yet another WordPress site to add to my list of WordPress sites that I have built. This time, for the A MINI Vacation in Vegas group. It might look a little familiar since it’s based on the theme for the Sin City MINI Club site, but this one has a few extra features.

First up, it has full Twitter integration. I have also connected their Twitter to the corresponding Facebook. The contact forms on this site also have the ability to capture the form data to be used later for mailing items or extracting email addresses.

I’m going to be taking this on more as an ongoing project basis as well. I think that with a little more tweaking and a bit more promotion, the combination of WordPress, Twitter and Facebook will be a great tool for keeping the attendees up-to-date while the event is happening. Stay tuned for details.

And, if you are looking for some cool WordPress goodness, let me know. The Arizona offices are wide open and ready for business!

As most of you know, I am in the process of relocating the offices of Donburnside.com.  Follow along at Facebook or Twitter (links above) for the complete play-by-play if you are so inclined.

I expect normal service to resume shortly.

Thank you for your patience.

Out of the office

MTTS Route Map

From August 6th through August 15th I will be away from my desk attending MINI Takes the States. If you would like to follow along, you can do exactly that at Whiteroofradio.com.

I expect normal service to resume on or about the 16th.

Nobody is in charge this time. Just don’t forget to close the fridge door. All of the cheese went bad last time and that stuff is expensive!
