I was thinking a bit about the meetups that have been going on in Philadelphia and in New York City. We don’t really have a format for our discussions. Not that I was thinking of changing that, but I was curious:

If you could have someone who knows something about WordPress talk about one thing with you, what would it be?

I imagine that there are a lot of people who are just starting WordPress or who are considering whether they should that might like to hear what it’s all about. Or if you’ve just gotten started, you might have questions about why things generally work a certain way.

I’m curious if the responses would lean toward a general overview of WordPress and getting started, or if there would be a few specific questions that everyone who’s using the software needs answered. Remember, this would be an opportunity to talk with someone in person, so you wouldn’t want to waste the time on a support question that you could get answered on the forums.

Some questions I’ve been asked recently at the meetups range widely. Can I use WordPress as a CMS? How do I allow people to contribute to my site without giving them complete access? Is there something I can do to make image handling work better? How can I tell if anyone is reading this thing?

Do you have questions? Let’s hear them.

I might schedule a discussion at a meetup based on what questions come in. I’ll announce that when the time comes. If you’re in the area, I hope you are able to attend. I really need to firm up my plans for visiting the New York meetup this month, specifically, how I will get there (drive? train?) and where I will be going.
