In the upcoming weeks, I’ll be wrapping up what has turned into a little speaking tour. This year I’ve already gone to Austin, Lancaster, did @shoptalkshow and held some events locally in Scranton/NEPA. Through June, I’ll be finishing strong, hitting several more WordCamps and I will have my book on sale and signing it!
Whoa. Almost a month has gone by and I haven’t written a thing on this blog; sorry about that! Since officially announcing my new book, Responsive Design with WordPress, I’ve been working diligently to finish up all of the writing, reviews, edits, and design approvals. I’m happy to say that Monday I will be done completely with the book. In the coming weeks, there will be a lot going on, and I wanted to give everyone a heads up!

First and foremost, the book is set to go to print on November 20th, which should put it on the shelves by December 16th. If you can’t wait that long, the ebook is currently in production and should be out before that. I will update this post (and Twitter, and Facebook, and Google+) with the official release date for that.
In the coming weeks, I’ll probably have lots of news, links, sample readings, and even a couple of giveaways for the book so keep an eye out for that. I’ll tag everything on social media with #rwdwp.
I’m also going on a bit of a speaking/events tour in the next few weeks. You can see the whole schedule here, but a couple of notable ones are:
At any of these events (and many more), those who show up will get a coupon for 35% off the price of my book, so come on by and say hi!
Though I haven’t officially announced it yet, I have been talking for a while about a new book I’m working on called Responsive Design with WordPress. We are a couple of months out from release but things are going well! In the time running up to the release I’ll be out there speaking quite a bit to promote it.
Happy 1st official day of summer. The Internet has been particularly good this week so I wanted to share some of the interesting links I’ve come across.
As it turns out, I’m speaking a couple of times next week on WordPress Custom Post Types- check out the information below and register if you’d like!
Just a quick note that I’ll be speaking tomorrow (Oct 20th) at WordCamp Philly! My talk is called Building a Simple WordPress Framework. Here is the description:
This is a talk modeled after my 4-part series on WPTuts+, DIY WordPress Theme Framework. I’ll cover some basic rules of software reuse and defining your needs, what’s out there, why I made my own, and then some code: The important elements of WP themes and what should be included in the framework, how to use that framework as a child theme, and how to use it as a starting point for a parent theme.
I’m part of the Designer Track and will be speaking at 1:15pm (full schedule here). Come on by! If you can’t make it, I’ll be around both days so feel free to stop me and say hello.
Merry Christmas everyone! If you need some ideas for last minute gifts, check out my list of Tech Gifts for 2010. Also, I saw Tran-Siberian Orchestra last night. It was my fourth time seeing them; if you get the chance, you need to go. It’s an amazing show (musically & theatrically) and it will put you in the Christmas spirit!
