Author: Folk’s it’s great to be back with you guys Hey! I want to share something with you this past weekend Jan. 10-11 I went to WordCamp here in Las Vegas.
I say if you’re teaching people how to blog and how to use a blogging platform it always a great thing to go directly to the source to learn new things so you can get better. So I decided to go to Wordcamp to see fellow Bloggers from around the world!
I had fun and got lots of new ideas for my blogging, business and Mentorship Program that I can share and teach you guys. You know Wordpress is here to stay folks whether you like it or NOT!
More and more people are using Wordpress like The CIA and US Government firms, private companies, Hollywood (entertainment) like Martha Stewart, Larry King (CNN News) and many more! The reason why is because Wordpress is the best blogging platform out there.
Better yet it’s FREE (open source). So I will definitely continue to use Wordpress and will highly recommend it to all of my readers, members and students (Mentoree) because I know the people behind Wordpress are working so hard to make this blogging platform be the best out there.
Engineers are working day in and day out, brainstorming new ideas (I smell Wordpress 2.8) and the Wordpress crews are just amazing people, I met with them.
Not only did I meet with Wordpress people but also I met with Matt Mullenweg the founding developer of Wordpress, remember I said I went straight to the source right? So this is it! Here’s a little bit of info about Matt.
Matt Mullenweg is the founding developer of the popular open-source blogging software WordPress and writes a popular blog Photo Matt He also founded Automattic, the business behind WordPress.com and Akismet.
So Yeah! I met him! It was an honor to meet the person who founded the blogging platform that I am using to make money blogging! I also told Matt that and I thanked him and the rest of the wordpress crew for creating Wordpress.
OK! so I was really having a great time while I was there but here’s the exciting part during lunch everyone went to do their own business to get something to eat and you’re not going to believe this!
Matt Mullenweg was right next to me and he invited me to sit down and join them for lunch in the buffet! When he asked me I don’t know what to say (I was Speechless) I said OK! Sure.
Man! I was thinking this is History for me because not only did I meet the Father of Wordpress but he also invited me to lunch with them out of hundreds of people that attended the Wordcamp I was very fortunate to join him for lunch.
So we talked there were only four of us, I was sitting next to Matt and right in front of me are matt’s friends Lorelle VanFossen and Liz Strauss. Matt he’s an amazing guy he made me feel comfortable by initiating conversation, he’s a very nice guy.
After the lunch Matt and I walked together back to the Wordcamp and we talked I told him I want to be the first beta tester for Wordpress 2.8 he just laughed. Anyways I am just honored to meet him and talk to him one on one.
Man! I mean this guy flew with his private Jet and here I am next to him just chit chatting, you know? Anyways Matt is really an amazing human being he likes to help and is very humble and down to earth.
So Matt if your reading this I want to say Thank You So Much! Also you can comment if you want to! lol 
OH! I also meet with a very good friend of mine Warren Whitlock I’ve known him probably for five years he’s part of local mastermind group here in Vegas he also kept sending me some new clients for consultation while in Wordcamp.
Warren is also the author of the best selling book (Hard Copy) Twitter Revolution it’s five stars on Amazon.com, he also has a website over at http://bestsellerauthors.com
OK! I Think I’ll wrap it up here just remember that I have so much new information to share with you this 2009 and I want you to benefit from it and use it so you can be successful with your blogging career.
Also one more thing sometimes you need to go out in the real world and shut down your PC to network with others. It is impossible to be successful by your self!
My Dad always told me his favorite quote "No Man! Is An Island" it simply means human beings do not thrive when isolated from others.
TIPS – Want to make money with your blog? Well one thing that really works for me is I sell my own products on my blog! If you don’t have a product of your own to sell on your blog I want you to check out my product page.
I am sure you’ll find something that you can sell on your blog. Some of my Minisite Templates come with Resell Rights kind of like a "Biz N The Box" So go ahead just click the link the below: http://www.alberthallado.com/Product-Page.html
That’s it and feel free to comment! (Don’t be Shy!) also when you comment and you have URL to your site it will show on the sidebar of this blog and guess what you’ll get some of my traffic!
Please do me a huge favor if you know anyone that can benefit from this information please forward this post by using the SHARE THIS below, I’ll promise you they’ll thank you for it!
Till Next Time and God Bless You!

2009 is really shaping up isn’t it? I know you will continue to educate your readers on how you have maintained an ever growing subscriber base using WP.
I know I have learned a lot from you by watching and our talks on WP. It really is a Fantastic software. I was wandering if Matt had given you any tips on the use of WP that you might be sharing with us?
Maybe there will be more info in the future?
Well I gotta run and take care of my blog now. Yes it is a WP also. Gotta stay with a winner! Talk to ya later buddy.

I can’t tell you how proud I am to have hosted an event that has had so many positive messages coming from it, like this one. Albert, I’m very happy for you that you had an opportunity to sit and chat with Matt. He’s a very approachable guy and I’m happy that we had the opportunity to have him join us at WordCamp and introduce him to many of his users and fans here in Las Vegas.
I hope to be able to bring him back next year.
Cheers.
