Just point your mobile device to our blog and you will instantly get a fully mobile version of our blog that will display very nicely on smaller screens. It is done in the classic iPhone interface style and is very clear and easy to read. Happy reading everyone!

SymEast 2011 Planning Moving Ahead Quickly

After our latest conference call for the 2011 SymEast event we have really begun to forge ahead quickly with the event planning. Our accommodations are all ready, the invitation E-mails have been sent, the sessions are being finalized. The committee is very excited about this year and the location will be sure to be a huge hit with all of our attendees on the Baltimore Inner Harbor.

I know I am also very excited to announce the creation of a first-timer’s welcome reception prior to the conference start. This event will be a place where all of our new attendees can come and meet the committee, ask any questions they may have and also learn some more about the way our conferences tend to work. I know I will be there to meet everyone personally and I am looking forward to seeing a lot of new faces in the group this year.

Lastly I wanted everyone to know about our new Facebook page since we created it for the users group this year. Each year we try to offer more and more social media integration to our group’s activities since so many of us use these technologies on a daily basis. I have added the Facebook wall stream from this group below and will be adding a page to the site for it as well in the next two days.

James Burke-Frazier from Wescom has kindly lent us his twittering talents for the conference and will be posting comments to his account during the show. I have placed his feed in the sidebar to the right on the blog site so everyone else can follow as well.

Do you want to helps us with the coverage as well? We would love to have people register to be contributors to the blog and all you have to do is sign up and let me know at jonathan.cilley@mctfcu.org!

Almost There on the Blog!

The blog is looking better now anyways, I’ve been trying to clean it up a bit and have added some nice new plugins to help the search engine rankings. My next step is to redesign the logo but since my GIMP/Paint.Net skills are not so hot and I do not have Fireworks at home, that will have to wait for the time being.

So here’s what has changed:

Added the SEO pack for WordPress
Added content caching (just in case we get dug!)
Added a nice plugin to post Youtube videos (have you seen those WRG band videos?)
Twitter now gets updated when we post here

So far so good, just a little bit more and I think this thing might just work!
