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.

A few months back, I featured the Sakura Wordpress theme and many of you liked it especially the ladies. Well here’s a treat for you. The guys over at area381 has finally come up with an update, a 3 column version of Sakura.

This new version of Sakura now has 2 sidebars and is still widget ready so you can put more widgets to heart’s content. Sakura 3 columns theme has also been tested in all major browsers namely IE 6 and 7, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Flock users don’t have to worry coz if it works with Firefox, I’m sure it’ll also work with Flock.

My Take:

I liked the previous version of Sakura and like this even better because of the additional sidebar. It gives the user more space to display their stuff and not cramp it all on one sidebar. One thing that I think the authors of this theme should add is navigation menu which can be placed on the header right below the blog title and description. I think adding that would make it more user-friendly and give easy access for visitors. Maybe we’ll see that in a later version of Sakura. Like it’s predecessor, I give the Sakura 3 columns a 4.5 out of 5.

Oh yeah, another thing. I think it would also be nice to see this theme in a different color scheme. What do you guys think?

Check out or Download the Sakura 3 columns Wordpress theme.
