They say that the third time’s the charm, but I don’t know if I would apply that to the third WordCamp conference in San Francisco that took place today. While it may partially have been that maybe I’ve gotten a little bit used to it, now that I’ve been there a few times, a lot of changes happened this year that I didn’t really think were that much for the better.

I’m volunteering at the T-shirt counter today until 11:00, after which I’ll be free to go out an enjoy the conference. I’ll also be taking pictures and putting them on my Flickr photostream today, so you can keep an eye there.

If you’re visiting my blog as a WordCamper, I hope you enjoy my blog and are interested in subscribing. I’m also interested in finding people interested in guest blogging on my blog in the near future, so if you would be interested, please leave a comment to this post and I’ll get in touch with you!

WordCampers last year may remember when one Dr. David Klein went around WordCamp taking pictures of people and then making caricatures of them. Well, this year, he’s doing something different; he’s getting a whole bunch of WordCamp bloggers to do little mini-games on their blog. I’m going to be doing one on this blog starting at 2:15 PM, lasting for about 15 minutes, and is exclusively for WordCamp visitors to participate in (and win a prize, possibly), so check back at 2:15 as defined by the handy clock on the top of my blog.

So now, on to WordCamp!
