A Fresh New Look for WordCamp Central

Posted by on April 10, 2012 with 6 replies

We’re pleased to announce a brand new look for WordCamp Central’s site! Among other changes, we have made a special page for all WordCamps on the schedule, with catchy banners and thumbnails each organizer can use to show off their skyline or the unique nature of their event. Our front page now highlights some speakers from the upcoming events and includes a Twitter stream from registered accounts for upcoming WordCamps.

This is just the beginning of some bigger changes we’re planning for the whole network. Don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you spot anything strange or broken throughout the website at any stage, and please stay tuned for further announcements. Oh, and by the way, you can now subscribe to our mailing list from the front page. Thanks for stopping by!
