Multipack Presents WordPress with Show & Tell, Sat 12 May 2012

Our event this month is all about Wordpress, featuring:

Jonny Allbut - stretching WP beyond the blog
Rachel McCollin - Responsive images - let WordPress do the hard work
Tammie Lister - Three BuddyPress tales

All great stuff about how Wordpress can be more than just a blog.

It’s also a Show & Tell event too, so we’ll have some short talks on projects by multipack attendees!

Meet 2pm at the Sack of Potatoes, the talks from 4pm at Science Park Aston

Sponsor a Mac

Our very own Si has been working closely with The International School in Birmingham, asking local design agencies to “Sponsor a Mac” to help students embrace creativity with industry standard software that is typically too expensive for schools.

By contributing just £120 towards the campaign, you will supply the school with an Adobe Creative Suite license along with the opportunity to build a relationship with young talented designers.

The folks at One Black Bear have been busy again. This time bringing the classic midlands car manufacturer’s site up to date. A nice clean design that’s also fully responsive.

Free Radio
