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.



WP Theme Review: Fluidity

Fluidity is the most recent Wordpress theme created by my friend and kababayan* Beng Hafner. It’s the second free Wordpress theme she’s released this year and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

I’ve always been an avid fan of Beng Hafner’s work. I always admired the designs of her personal blog and also the free Wordpress themes that she has created. It’s amazing how she finds the time to create this beautiful Wordpress themes inspite of her busy schedule. Beng Hafner happens to be a wife, mom of 3 kids, a full-time student with a part-time job. Fluidity is easily one of her best creations ever.

Releasing my second latest free Wordpress Theme for this year. Fluidity - I think the name sayz it all huh? This is my very first fluid/liquid creation and top of it all…it’s three (3) columns. I applied the famous Web 2.0 graphic design a bit to make it look trendy. I said a bit because I myself doesn’t like too much gradient and too bright colors. In my opinion, web design is exactly the same like fashion, everything should match and harmonize. Okay enough blah.

WP Theme Fluidity

Basic Features:

  • 3 columns
  • Widget ready
  • Search engine optimized
  • XHTML & CSS standards compliant

My Take:

Fluidity is not only a beautifully and excellently designed Wordpress theme but also user-friendly and very easy to customize. Wordpress users with some knowledge of HTML, CSS and image editing will definitely have fun with this theme. But regular users won’t be disappointed because Fluidity is widget-ready and works just fine out of the box. I give the Fluidity theme a 4.5 out of 5. Great job Beng! Keep up the good work and looking forward to more free Wordpress themes from you.

Check out or Download the Fluidity theme for Wordpress.

    Hi Jaypee,

    I luckily had time to check my blogroll page which also includes the list of incoming links. There I saw the link of your review. Thank you so much for including my work to your reviews :). Kudos to you kababayan.

    4.5 out of 5 (hehehe, how generous of you) in your opinion what shall I do to reach the top rating :). I’m serious about this ha? Like once Connie Veneracion said “masyado daw akong metikolosa”.

    @Beng - Hello! You’re most welcome! You deserve it anyways and even if I didn’t know you, my review would have still been the same. ;)

    Yup, 4.5! I don’t normally give that rating unless the theme is really nice and if I like it. I don’t remember giving a theme a rating of 5 yet and I’m not sure if I’ll ever give out a rating that high. The theme has to be really perfect to be able to get a rating of 5. I can’t really say how, but I’ll know once I see it. :D
