A group set up to explore how blogging can be used is starting in Cardiff.
The Cardiff WordPress Users group (CWUG) is sponsored by Sequence and run by Cardiff blogger Geoff Rogers (@foomandoonian) and will meet up regularly to talk about experiences and technical issues to do with running websites using the blog platform WordPress.
Geoff has set up an online poll to gauge interest in the Cardiff blogging community – and to see how many baby bloggers and veteran techies would be up for joining – vote and leave your comments with suggestions on the new WordPress blog here.
About setting up the CWUG, Geoff said:
"WordPress is one of the most popular blogging platforms, but getting the best out of it can be a bit technical.
"A user group will be a great way of getting expert and novice users together to learn from each other."
Bi-monthly meetings would allow for presentations, case studies of WordPress sites, as well as beers, chatting and networking with other WordPress users.
Lots of Cardiff blogs in the city use the WordPress platform – such as Cardiff East blog, City Centre Cardiff, and Lisvane news. We also run bi-monthly Cardiff Bloggers Meet-ups to talk about wider issues which affect bloggers – the next meet-up will look at the relationship between bloggers and PRs and will take place on 6 April. Find out more about the April Cardiff Bloggers Meet-up here.
If you're interested in learning more about social media you can also keep updated with our Cardiff Social Media Surgery meetings here.
