On April 7 and 8th I spent time at WordCamp Jacksonville and spoke in their Building WP Track on WordPress Automation. Unlike, WordCamp Miami, I actually had time to give a full talk on the topic.

This year WordCamp Miami was very eventful and as an experienced organizer, it still took me by surprise. I might go until details later but I gave a lightning talk at WCMIA in the Developer track on WordPress Automation. I enjoy making life simple so figuring out ways to automate WordPress regardless if it is for development or content.
