Many sites have hundreds or thousands of posts. Consider one such post published in 2006. If the site has been tended to with love and affection, odds are <em>the content has remained the same<\/em> and <em>the presentation has changed with each redesign<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>What does permanence mean to you? Are you a developer who still has to deal with that API decision made three years ago? Are you a daily blogger who\u2019s been writing since the days of b2?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your format: to be determined.<\/strong> We loved how WCSF 2012\u2019s twenty minute presentations encouraged focusing on a single point. We also love our fair share of keynotes, workshops, unconferences, and music gigs.<\/p>\n<p>As avid WordPress customizers, we know form matters as much as content \u2014 sell us on yours. Plan to see some editing as we fit your content into a compelling package.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your application: a two-minute video.<\/strong> You can rehearse as many times as you\u2019d like, but we\u2019ll only consider your best. Your video needs to include what your topic is, who it\u2019s directed towards, and why you\u2019re the one to speak on it. You\u2019re welcome to upload it anywhere you\u2019d like on the internet, but we need to be able to watch it.<\/p>\n<p>Have too many ideas? Try to pick the unique gem. We\u2019re also happy to provide feedback. <a href=\"mailto:d@danielbachhuber.com\">Send an email to Daniel Bachhuber<\/a> to start the conversation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your deadline:<\/strong> Sunday, June 9th at 9 pm Pacific.\u00a0Cook up something tasty.
