Birmingham Blogging Academy 
Can’t wait for wordcamp. I want to make my blog the best it can be. This is new for me and I look forward to learning as much as I can. Thanks for putting this on.
Here’s your opportunity, Tom (and everyone else) …
If you have a question for the panel, leave a comment here. The more prep we do, the better the answer will be at WordCamp.
Are both days the same or totally different presentations and content? I can’t make it on Saturday but would love to attend on Sunday.
Saturday is a standard conference with two tracks of seminars and panels. Sunday will feature open tables with hands-on help from experts for your sites and needs.
I am looking for ways to get my blog in front of more people so that I can get more traffic and also so I can build name/brand recognition in my market area (Birmingham area). Thanks.
Thanks for the question, Tom!
I have another question. If I migrate an old non WordPress website to WordPress will I lose any Google rankings I had with that site because of the move. I would have the same web address. Thanks.
