Albuquerque Wordpress Meetup

I just got back from the second Albuquerque Wordpress Meetup. It was a cool event all about one of my favorite subjects, Wordpress.

Blogging on ActiveRain is a great idea, especially with a RainMaker account, but creating your own blog with Wordpress is a great idea too.

I've used WP to start what I call "microblogs" for some of my favorite neighborhoods, Taylor Ranch and Ventana Ranch in Northwest Albuquerque. I learned about the beauty of the hyper-local post here on ActiveRain from Bob Stewart, and decided to take it to another level.

If you want to dominate SERPS for an area of your local market you might want to consider doing the same. That way when someone Googles your neighborhood you could have posts from Active Rain, your outside blog, Localism and your neighborhood-specific microblog show up. You could eventually dominate page one of Google for your desired term.

The Albuquerque WordPress Meetup group has members with a wide range of knowledge from beginners to web developers, and everything in between. like me. It's always fun to be in a room of like-minded people (like going to Raincamp) and exploring one of your favorite topics.

Since I had such a good time I'd like to thank the organizers, Jenifer De La Garza from Administrative Support Group who provides Real Estate Virtual Assistant Services, and Karen Arnold from Karen K Design Website Solutions.

There are meetings every second Thursday of the month, here's a link to more information: Albuquerque WordPress Meetup.
