What did I do this past Saturday? I attended <a href="http://2013.baltimore.wordcamp.org/" target="_blank">Wordpress Camp Baltimore</a> for the second time.  I think that if you blog regularly and/or help people set up blogs, you should most definitely attend  this volunteer-run event, available worldwide probably at a city near you. It is well worth the low cost of admission. If you want to find one near you, check out the <a href="http://central.wordcamp.org/" target="_blank">Wordpress camp site.</a>

I attended five sessions out of the total of 15. There were two tracks: one directed to the developers and one to the users.  Obviously, what I learned would be more useful to a user than a developer.
<h4>Social media must be integrated into both your blog and your blog's strategy</h4>
Google + indexes faster, so consider setting up your Google + authorship description

You need both inbound and outbound social media plugins

Check out the Tweet Old Post plugin to be able to use your older blog posts

Be careful with sending people to social networks--the last thing you want to do is lead someone away from your site.
