The title of the presentation, if you haven't guessed, is "Hacking WordPress: Introduction to custom plugins and advanced templating". I'll explain how you can use your own plugins and functions to make your WordPress site sing. In other words, it will basically be a relatively improvised primer on the following things:

This will be my first talk on WordPress. I started working with WordPress as a platform not too long ago, when working at CloudRaker with Stéphane Caron, who happened to have a really nice jQuery plugin to replicate the behavior of the famous Lightbox, called prettyPhoto. Since WordPress uses jQuery (and so do most of its plugins), I figured it'd be a good idea to integrate his plugin in WordPress while adding flexibility. That's how it all started. I still can't believe I'll be telling anyone my take on how to do things, but it's happening!

I'll probably be using this post to mark my progress in the elaboration of my talk. I'd love to get feedback and comments on what I'm doing since this is a first for me. Stay tuned!
