We’ve got a panel show together this week to talk about all the latest news and developments in the world of web design and development. So with me on the show today is our full panel of regular hosts, Kevin Dees, Patrick O’Keefe, and the Stephan Segraves. Hi guys. Kevin: Howdy, howdy. Stephan: Hi. Patrick: It feels like it’s been longer than it has been. It’s actually only been two group shows since we’ve done one altogether and we were talking about this before the show but I think it’s just because we love each other so much. That’s all. That why it feels longer. Louis: Yeah, I thought you were going to say it feels like it’s been more than the three seconds it’s been since the last take of that intro. Kevin: It feels like deja vu in here. Patrick: We’re professionals. Louis: Yeah, we are. So how’s everybody been? Stephan: Been good. How about yourself? Louis: Most excellent.

Kevin: Yes. Patrick: The wolves of Raleigh, North Carolina. Yeah, so we’re going to speak, both are going to be speaking at Indie Comp this year and that’s in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 17th. I’m going to be speaking about how to monetize your website and get the most out of that. Kevin, what are you talking about? Kevin: I’ll be talking about basically booting up, pragmatic WordPress development kind of launching a WordPress site using some tools that are available. I’ll probably end up writing a blog post about it once I have everything together. I don’t want to spoil anything for those who are going to show up to the event. Patrick: Awesome. Well, indieconf is focused at independent web professionals and freelancers, so if you’re in the area, Raleigh, an hour or two away, definitely come check it out. We’d love to meet [...]
