iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026 Image Playground, Photo Spacial Reframe and New Editing Tools in iOS 27 Apple Puts a Siri Camera Mode on iPhone, Visual Intelligence Across All Platforms Safari Gets AI Tab Organization, Notify Me, and Custom Extensions in iOS 27

Back in early 2003, before I switched to WordPress from my own custom-built blog CMS, there used to be several hard-core WordPress users around. Actually, there was even a WordPress Meet-up somewhere in UP Diliman at that time. Lorelle of WordPress even has a page up for such WordPress-related events.

After I was converted, I’ve evangelized about the greatness of WordPress and has since installed hundreds upon hundreds of WordPress blog. So, now that it looks like WP is a hands-down winner (practically default blog software around here), do we need a local WordPress Group or event such as the ones they have in Malaysia?

Is there anyone out there still with that original WordPress Group back in 2002/03 out there doing some projects or events?

We already have a pinoy wordpress group now. But a few years ago, I was talking to Gail about starting a wordpress-ph group, a local counterpart of the various groups in other international locations. Maybe we can discuss this with the current pinoywordpress yahoogroup and make something bigger and more official.

Abe,

that would indeed be a very good idea… para naman meron local support sa mga nahihirapan gumamit ng wordpress… when i 1st blogged, it was during the time pa of b2, and when wordpress was born out of b2, i immediately switched and never looked back… maganda ito… sigurado sasali ako dyan…

Been looking for pinoy + wordpress group but the one Mae has mentioned is indeed so inactive I decided to cancel my membership.

This could be a good output from the upcoming Blogger party this January. What better venue to discuss this than during a face-to-face encounter with fellow Pinoy bloggers.
