Here are some ideas to help spread the word about WordCamp UK 2008, please add any other ideas you may have below.


In the community spirit of the event - if you only spend 5 minutes doing a couple of these things you can really make a difference! This has been solely organised by many people within the UK WordPress community... in-fact every one of us have even bought tickets!


  • Install the WordCamp UK 2008 Link Love plugin! This allows you to automatically display a choice of different corner banners into your WordPress site about WordCamp UK 2008. You don't have to alter any template files, just upload, install and configure through the admin page!NEW
  • Interested in becoming a sponsor? Download a full information pack here. This details everything you need to know about WordPress, WordCamp UK 2008 and the various sponsorship benefits.
  • Tell all your friends... obviously!! Anyone from the casual blogger right upto developer and everyone in-between will get a-lot from WordCamp UK!
  • Make a post on your blog, with links to this wiki or the blog - use the tag 'wordcampuk'.
  • Visit the WordCamp UK Blog, join and write some content, leave a comment, or simply vote in the polls - get involved!
  • Start a new thread on the forums you visit, and respond accordingly to any responses.
  • Change your forum signature (just for the next days!) to promote WordCampUK, with the date, links to this wiki and the blog. Remember that every post/thread you have ever made on that forum will change... This is a great way to spread the word, and takes 30 seconds!
  • Do the same with your email signature.
  • Enter your blog, template design or plugin into The Humphrey Awards. This is going to build up to be a great competition, with awards ceremony to be held during WordCamp UK so get going guys!

Let's be clear on one thing though - this is not a spamming campaign!

Just do your bit to make sure no-one misses out on the opportunity of attending (or sponsoring) this years event!!
