BuddyPress: Social Networks with WordPress

This presentation will discuss how to use BuddyPress for a variety of projects and sites – beyond just adding a “social network” to your blog. I will explore how you can customize BuddyPress for custom projects, as well as drive engagement to your site with BuddyPress. We’ll also check out some great plugins and have a little show-and-tell of a BuddyPress project I’ve worked on. The goal is to have fun and explore what BuddyPress is and how it can be used. Although there will be some discussion of code, this is general enough in nature to appeal to those new to BuddyPress or even non-developers with somewhat of a technical background.
