WordPressWordCamp. Impact: students, faculty members, mom & pop’s rubbing elbows with the best and the brightest.Well over 50% of the web blog pages on the Internet are written in WordPress; over the course of a weekend, participants become instantly more employable/interactive: web design, advertising, blogging.
