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.

Hongkiat has come up with the list of the 49 most downloaded Wordpress themes of all time from Themes.WordPress.net. It’s a bit surprising to see that most of the themes who made it to the list doesn’t look that nice or appealing and yet many users still download them.

I was expecting BinaryBonsai’s K2 to be one of the themes in that list but it wasn’t. However, the list does include two modified versions of K2 - 3k2redux klein and 3k2redux klee.

Among the themes listed, I counted 10 themes that I’ve downloaded and tried on my sandbox. And from those 10 themes, the only one I used for JaypeeOnline was the Freshy theme. I’m sure most of you who have been visiting my blog for quite a while remember that. What I like most about that theme is the option to easily change color schemes within the Wordpress admin panel, which you don’t see in most Wordpress themes.

Check out Hongkiat’s list of the 49 Most Downloaded Wordpress Themes.

    Yes, I remember that Freshy Look. I guess most people go for ‘clean layouts’ that’s why some themes that aren’t so… well, u know… were mostly downloaded ;)

    @L.A. - Yup, I got the e-Ticket. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to the awards night even if I wanted to. I’ve also sent an email regarding someone who will represent me. Thanks! :)

    @Dre - Actually, a lot of good clean layout themes didn’t make it to the list. I guess these themes weren’t that popular or weren’t listed in Themes.Wordpress.Net. The list is about number of downloads and not the best layout anyways. Hehe :D

    I like K2. It’s clean, I used a few times but if you have two many things happening in one sidebar, it gets boring. I am now using 2813 by elifoner for the white minimalist three column layout. What can you get with free wordpress.com blog? It’s very limited.

    I din’t check the 49 Top so I don’t know its even included there - I actually liked the theme of the site.

    @K - I’ve also used K2 with a modified style sheet for my blog a long time ago. I’m also thinking of using a 3 column theme but I still can’t find one that works for me. That’s what’s keeping me from having my blog over at WP.com, your hands are tied. :D

    Yeah, Hongkiat’s blog has a very nice theme. :)

    I think these were the ones uploaded early that’s why they got the highest number of downloads.

    @Jam - I guess that’s true for most themes but there are some themes that are quite new that made it to the list. :)
