Happy Holidays everyone!
I have been meaning to post a lot sooner than now (busy, busy!), specifically about WordCamp Vancouver that I went to back in October. Well, I will say now that I had a GREAT time at WordCamp and definitely recommend it. They are held in many, many cities, so just go to the WordCamp Central website to see if one is happening soon near you! I will definitely be going next year.
2012 is nearly over, and it sure has flown by. What a year! I graduated from Vancouver Island University with my degree in Digital Media Studies, I moved off “the rock”, and I am now working at the fabulous Bstro. I can’t wait to see what 2013 has in store!
I wish you all very Happy Holidays, and a fabulous New Year! See you in 2013. 🙂
