WordCamp Philippines

WordCamp Philippines

If you’re a Pinoy blogger or a WordPress user/fan then most likely you’ve heard or read of this already. But in case you haven’t, I have good news for you. There will be a WordCamp held in the Philippines this coming September 6, 2008. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a little info.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. - Weblog Tools Collection

WordCamp Philippines will be the first ever WordCamp organized and held in Asia. WordCamp Philippines is being organized by a group of Filipino bloggers based in Mindanao who were also responsible for organizing the successful 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit held last year.

What are the objectives of WordCamp Philippines?

…to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.

Dezinerfolio 2.0 is a dark, 2 columned Wordpress theme designed by Navdeep of Deziner Folio. This is an updated version of the first public Wordpress theme released by Dezinerfolio.

Basic features of this theme include a fixed width, a post date icon, a bottom bar and a sliding sidebar made possible by a third-party javascript. Dezinerfolio 2.0 is tested to be compatible with Wordpress 2.2 and supports the following plugins:

  • Authimage
  • flickrRSS
  • Gravatars
  • Recent Comments
  • Sideblog
  • ShareThis
  • Sociable
  • Subscribe to Commetns
  • WP-PageNavi
  • WP PostRatings

My Take:
I like the Dezinerfolio theme because of it’s good design, sliding sidebar and custom graphics for post date, comments, avatars and the curled up page corner. The javascript powered sliding sidebar can be an issue for some users but it can be easily turned off or disabled by deleting the .js file.

Although this theme won’t work straight out of the box because of the required plugins, it’s not a problem because the author includes all the necessary plugins with the download. All you need to do if you aren’t using the plugin yet is to upload and activate. IMO, this can be an issue for some users and make them back away from this theme.

Overall, I give the Dezinerfolio 2.0 a 3.5 out of 5.

Check out or Download the Dezinerfolio Wordpress theme.
