WordCamp Video Highlight 2018/08/31

Posted on Friday, August 31st, 2018 at 12:11 pm by John Parkinson

If you do a search for Netcast (Video / Audio Podcast) About WordPress, you will see literally hundreds of options to choose from. I have been a fan of netcast for years and have my favorites that I watch or listen to each week.

The videos below explain the advantages of having video and audio content.

Florian Gottschall: Learn why and how to create and use video for your WordPress blog/website

https://wordpress.tv/2018/08/13/florian-gottschall-learn-why-and-how-to-create-and-use-video-for-your-wordpress-blog-website/

In my workshop I showcase the importance of online video with up to date statistics from main influencers. Based on this background I showcase how you can use video in your own WordPress installation from different sources. I also provide an overview about advantages or disadvantages for each source. As an interactive part I create a video live on stage.

Missy Sorg: Using WordPress for Podcasting

https://wordpress.tv/2018/07/25/missy-sorg-using-wordpress-for-podcasting/

When podcasting became a thing over a decade ago, there weren’t many options for distribution. In order to share our podcasts, we needed to develop a home for them – somewhere where people could find us online that was easier to work with than simple listing sites like TalkShoe or iTunes. That’s why we took advantage of resources we were familiar with – specifically WordPress. We have individual websites for our in-house podcasts – as well as a network page which is home to our growing catalog of Pittsburgh podcasts. I’ll show you how we’ve been able to do that and how you can do it, too.

Slides for this presentation can be found HERE.

WordPress Community Interview With Isabelle Garcia

Posted on Monday, February 20th, 2017 at 10:28 am by John Parkinson

Isabelle Garcia is a front-end web developer and social media geek. She is a “Digital Nomad” and travels the world working remotely. She has no fixed base, no office. Isabelle likes to frequent local libraries, not to borrow books but to take advantage of the quiet atmosphere. While other digital nomads meet at coffee shops or co-working spaces, she likes to spend entire days and even weekends in the common areas and desks of public libraries.

When I first contacted Isabelle, she was starting a new adventure she called #WCAsiaRoadTrip. She was going to spend 2 or 3 months traveling through Asia and attend WordCamps at Udaipur, Pune and Bangkok.

Isabelle records video interviews at WordCamps which she then uploads to YouTube. She uses the VINUBIS Video Editor Plugin to edit her videos.

She likes to give back to the WordPress Community by taking part in Translation events with the Polyglots Team.

WordPress Community Interview With Troy Dean

Posted on Monday, November 7th, 2016 at 9:34 am by John Parkinson

Troy Dean had submitted a testimonial video to WordPress TV a few weeks ago. I thought it was very well done and interesting, so I did a C&C (contact and connect) and the result is the video interview below.

Troy resides in Melbourne, Australia and is the Director of Cool and co-founder at Video User Manuals Pty Ltd. Video User Manual is a video tutorial plug-in to teach clients how to use WordPress. He is also co-founded WP Elevation, the world’s first business accelerator program for WordPress consultants. He is a regular speaker at WordCamps.

Troy talks about the WordPress Community and gives tips for first time speakers. We also discuss issues facing the volunteers at WordCamps who are setting up video cameras to record sessions.

Spotlight: WordCamp Miami 2016

Posted on Wednesday, June 22nd, 2016 at 4:41 pm by Jerry B

WordCamp Miami helped kick off the 2016 WordCamp season with sunny skies and great presentations on how to take your WordPress site to the next level. You can see all the WordCamp Miami sessions here, but below are a few that stood out for us.

Rachel Carden: Tools and Techniques for Evaluating Accessibility

When your website is accessible, all users can access your content no matter their abilities. Visually-impaired users can visit your website using a screen reader. Those who can’t use the mouse can navigate your site using a keyboard or other input device. Some accessibility features might also improve your SEO. When your site is inaccessible, research shows you could be excluding up to 20 percent of your users. This talk for all skill levels will review tools and techniques you can use to test and improve your site’s accessibility.

Meet the Moderators: Jerry Bates

Posted on Wednesday, February 27th, 2013 at 9:55 pm by Cheri Lucas Rowlands

There are so many great videos created at WordCamps and WordPress meetups around the world. As mentioned in December, 441 WordCamp videos were published to WordPress.tv by the end of 2012! We want to ensure these talks, presentations, and tutorials are shared with as many people as possible.

So, we’re very excited about the new team of WordPress.tv moderators. We formed a team of volunteers to review and approve the video content uploaded to WordPress.tv to ensure accuracy and quality, and to moderate comments and engage with the community.

Here on the WordPress.tv blog, we’d like to introduce you to these moderators in a Q&A post series. These moderators are WordPress enthusiasts — just like many of you out there — and we want to share their stories about how they got involved with WordPress.

First up in our Q&A series? Jerry Bates.
