I met Blair through John P.<\/a> at WordCamp Las Vegas. Upon my return home, I bought and installed the pro version of Blair’s plugin, Pretty Link<\/a> to check it out. I was totally impressed with the functionality that his plugin brought to the table and began looking through his code. Let me tell you, it is a meticulously organized and succinctly written bit of code. Blair not only writes code, but effectively markets a pro version of his plugin.<\/p>\n

As if he wasn’t busy enough, over the last few months, Blair has been busy writing another plugin, Mingle<\/a>. Mingle is a simple way to turn your WordPress blog into a social network without the overhead of WordPress MU and BuddyPress. He launched a companion site<\/a> to showcase the plugin’s abilities when he released the plugin and the site has become nothing less than what I would consider to be a Blair Love Fest. The feedback he’s gotten on the plugin has been overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n

I think we can all learn a lot from Blair’s breadth of knowledge.<\/p>\n

It is my great pleasure to announce that we have confirmed that Blair will be presenting in Orange County. If you’ve ever wondered how to build and market a WordPress plugin, come check him out.<\/p>\n
