Real Estate WordCamp is Coming to NARdiGras!
I’ve been working with the NAR team to put together a WordPress event at NARdiGras, and couldn’t be more excited that we’re ready to start announcing details!
In a nutshell, we’ve broken the half-day event into two tracks — one for beginners and one for more advanced WordPress users — and the folks we’ve agreed to present are some of the most knowledgeable WordPress people in real estate. All the sessions will be be on the morning of Monday, November 8th.
Below is a summery of the schedule, although this page on the NARdiGras site will quickly become the definitive source of all session information soon!
Track 1: An Introduction to WordPress
- 9 to 10am: Getting Started, by yours truly
- 10:15 to 11:15: Leveraging Plugins and Themes, by Reggie and Nicole Nicolay
- 11:30 to 12:30: Community Building Strategies, by Dale Chumbley
Track 2: Maximizing WordPress
- 9 to 10am: Customizing WordPress by Kelley Koehler
- 10:15 to 11:15: Integrating Real Estate Tools by Steve Zehngut
- 11:30 to 12:30: Improving Conversations Through Optimized Landing Pages by Gahlord Dewald
The idea is that if you’re relatively new to WordPress (and even if you don’t have a wordpress site yet!), you should be able to leave the first track with enough knowledge to feel comfortable setting up a site and have an idea for what a successful website marketing strategy would look like.
For those who are comfortable blogging, Todd Carpenter is going to be hosting the Maximizing WordPress track. With Kelley, Steve and Gahlord as presenters, you’re sure to get tons of tools and strategies to take your online marketing to the next level.
I couldn’t be more excited to be heading to New Orleans again and look forward to seeing you there!

This is great news, Dustin. I’ve been meaning to get myself to a WordCamp one of these days, and now I get to kill two birds with one stone, since I’ll already be at NARdiGras (still kills me to write that having grown up in New Orleans… LOL).
Agreed NARdiGras can be a bit painful to say!
Looking forward to meeting you there!
say it with me now -> #narleans!
working on it… #narleans (pretty sure it didn’t sound right though…)
I’m most excited to be part of this Dustin! Also bummed I’ll be missing part of the other track since it’s going to be awesome too!
I hear you! Lots of folks are likely to find it hard to choose between the great speakers!
I haven’t decided on whether or not I’m going to NARdiGras yet, but this makes me want to be there even more. I have a WordPress site that I’m rather proud of, but I’m always looking for new tips. If you’ve got some free time, check it out and let me know what you think.
Hey, your site looks great! Hope to see you in New Orleans!
I think it relies on the thought process of the person. Most of people will most likely think differently, but you never know. I’d like to write more about this and perhaps we can bounce comments through our site. Appreciate your perspective.
