Among the many WordPress resources, meetups have been a great way for users, designers, developers and other community members to learn and network.

Birmingham is fortunate to have a strong WordPress group, one that grows each year.

I’m the speaker at WordPress Birmingham next week, focusing on one of my favorite variations of this software, WordPress.com. My talk is called “The Cheapest Website You Can Do in 60 Minutes.”

I’ll reveal just how little it costs to run a robust site, and the most important steps in launching a new site for a company, a project, an organization or an event. You can a new website, or 10 new websites, with almost no effort or cash.

And the best part … it’s free. Plus, I’ll have discount codes to save $30 on regular tickets to Y’all Connect Presented by Alabama Power.

The meeting takes place from 7 to 8 p.m. May 19 at Pale Eddie’s Pour House, 2308 Second Ave. N., downtown [map].

Make sure to RSVP today.

And coming up this week …

• Tuesday at lunchtime, I’ll talk about social media and volunteerism at PRSA Alabama. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online.
• Tuesday evening, I’ll talk about social media and volunteerism (again!) at the Birmingham Girls Club. Join the group today.
• Saturday at 3 p.m. CDT, I’ll talk about the power of storytelling at PodCamp Nashville. Get your free tickets today.
