At the amazing WordCamp 2007 conference a couple weeks ago, I realized that I’d been staying a bit too exclusive for my personal tastes with this blog. What started out as a test site for WordPress.com has turned into a entity of its own.
To celebrate the two year anniversary of WordPress.com and Lorelle on WordPress, I’m opening the flood gates to my favorite WordPress bloggers to guest blog here, bringing you the brightest of the brightest and the best of the best.
August will be all about blogging (with WordPress news if there is some). September will be non-stop WordPress Tips, many coming from those who have practically invented many of the WordPress Tips.
We begin with the only guest blogger I’ve allowed to date on this blog, Greg Balanko-Dickson, whose insightful life coaching and business wisdom has guided myself and many others through the rough road of life, work, and blogging. If I was to start writing & blogging today I would… takes a look back at “what if I could do it better”, an attitude where we learn more from the mistakes we made than the lessons we learn.
And welcome to another favorite fellow WordPress.com blogger, Engtech of Internet Duct Tape reporting on the fantastic Sandbox Theme for WordPress Design Competition.
Hang on for a balloon and gift-filled two months as we celebrate all things blogging and WordPress here! And thanks in advance to all my wonderful guest bloggers for helping me share the love of blogging and WordPress with everyone.

Rock on! Can’t wait for it 🙂
I wish I had more time to actual blog, hopefully things will settle down here in NYC for me.
Congrats! Can’t wait.
Hooray for the celebration! Thanks for all the tips you’ve offered along the way, Lorelle. Even though I’m not nearly the blogger that you are, I’ve learned a great deal from your blog. So thank you for all that you’ve shared.
Offtopic but important:
Derek wrote a warning post, I’ve done it at the WP forum,
might be helpful for some users if you list this templatebrowser issue too?
I really look forward to September, as I have found myself becoming a bit of a WP tweak nut. I can’t wait to dig my teeth into more tips!
I was one of the lucky attendees at Wordcamp 2007 and one of the better sessions involved Lorelle who’s topic was “kicking Ass Content Creation” and was very interactive(in other words attendees took to the roaming (Womaned in this by Lorelle herself) mike and asked questions, made comments, etc
This is awesome. I’m gonna start partying and blogging, blogging and partying, right now!
Indeed, parteeeeeeey!
Thanks for the kind words, Bob. WordCamp was great fun and it was such a thrill to meet all the fantastic bloggers and fans of WordPress.
Hi, looking forward to the news. Should the title read 2 years by the way?
Tim: I’m celebrating two years of WordPress.com and Lorelle on WordPress over two months, so it is two months of celebrating with guest bloggers and fun and surprises.
I couldn’t keep up all this jolly for two more years…could I?
😉
Happy Blogiversity Lorelle. Thank you for the complement you left me and the linking love and the book and- Aww shucks. We love you gal. 🙂
Feliz cumpleaños…
Tienen Uds. una empresa muy útil e interesante, gracias por su aporte…
Larga vida!!
