On January 2nd Friday, there will be a Dubai WordPress meetup at Montgomery Golf Course with Matt Mullenweg, founding developer of WordPress. It is a chance to meet other local users of wordpress. Hmm..that’s exciting. Just yesterday I did my upgrade to Wodpress 2.7.

Everyone is invited in this meetup and since I’m very much now into wordpress, I have confirmed my attendance on Facebook. I’m actually busy that day but since this is chance I don’t wanna missed.

2. Download Wordpress 2.7 from Wordpress download.
