More info:

• WordCamp Portland – September 19-20, 2009 at WebTrends in Portland, Oregon
• WordCamp Seattle - September 26, 2009 at Adobe in Seattle, Washington
• WordPress – the “state-of-the-art publishing platform” that started it all.

It’s been sorely in need of an overhaul for ages and, while there are still improvements to be made, it’s a world better than what we had before.

Some of my favorite new features are:

• Hosting Knowledgebase – get setup instructions and answers to common hosting questions.
• Articles & News – keep up to date with our latest news and ramblings.
• The Design – it’s much lighter, more professional,  pleasing to the eye  (at least our eyes).

We’ve also added Reseller, VPS, and Dedicated Server hosting.
