Matt Simo presented useful information on how to use template tags and query posts to control which posts display in the WordPress loop. Randy Hoyt followed, with a discussions of how to use the ProjectManager plug-in and a custom template file to provide clients and other non-technical users an easy form-like UI to edit featured snippets.

About 20 folks were in attendance, mingling over pizza and sodas. No date has been announced for the next event, but we all do look forward to it.

Cheers!

WordCamp09 attendees enjoyed a rich panel discussion about WordPress, Blogging, and more.

We really enjoyed the weekend conference.  It was great to meet new people, learn great tips, tricks, and features about WordPress, and just be around really great folks.  Thanks to UTD for hosting the event, and to all those who worked so hard to put it together.

We’ll have another post soon with more thoughts on this great event.
