I have had the honour of being invited to WordCamp Raleigh by the man himself, Michael Torbert to be their Guest Photographer. How awesome is that? I’m stoked at the opportunity and it means a lot that I was considered. I’ve been involved with WordPress for a few years now and I use it to earn a living by developing websites for people on the platform. I’ve been to numerous WordCamps within the past year and met a lot of great folks and made some amazing new friends and I can’t tell you guys how much that means. Because of all of you and the community we’re involved in, my business has gone further than I ever imaged it could. I can’t wait to see what the next four years brings.
See you guys in Raleigh!
Happy shooting,
Travis Ballard

If you're an event organizer this plugin allows you to give attendees and speakers and anyone else for that matter a widget for their blog
that displays the event's "badge". Does require editing the code to fit the intended event but all that is required is adding your background
image to your site, then modifying some variables at the top of the class ( background position, event name, etc ) and you're set to add the
widget to your blog as well as package it and allow users to download it.
