Coupon for PubCon Austin 2011

Update: Click here for the coupon for PubCon Vegas 2011.

On March 8th and 9th, a Can’t-Miss online marketing conference, is coming to town. PubCon Austin 2011 will have dozens of top speakers over its two days.

The thing I like about PubCon is its focus on real world problems and solutions, rather than the vague theories you hear discussed at many conference.

And, best of all, I’ve negotiated a 15% discount for you. When you sign up, use the discount code “bc-8430915″. It is valid through February 2011.

Hope to see you there!

PubCon 2010 Coupon

Update: Click here for the coupon for PubCon Vegas 2011.

Without question, my favorite internet marketing conference of the year is PubCon Vegas. Great educational content, fantastic networking, and an excuse to head to Las Vegas right before the holiday season begins. As usual, I will be on a couple of panels this year, although I don’t yet know the topics.

Being known as a fan of PubCon, I’m often asked about discount coupons for attendees. So, I asked the crew at WebmasterWorld if they could help me out, and they gave me the following coupon code for 15% off PubCon Las Vegas:

bc-9237415

The code will expire on October 31, 2010 and must be used at the time of registration. They do not offer retroactive discounts.

I hope to see you there!

Today’s Lesson

Even those of us that are rather experienced in WordPress can get lazy. Sometimes we don’t keep our plugins up to date. And sometimes, PHP is upgraded on your server overnight, and you wake up to the dreaded blank-screen-of-death.

This has been my Monday.

Be deleting all the plugins for my site, I was able to get things running again. I’m currently reinstalling the plugins (and updating them). In the meantime, some of the functionality of this site will not be working.

So, remember this, boys and girls: Keep your WordPress plugins up to date!
