This Saturday is Charlotte WordCamp also known as CLTWordCamp. The event is being organized by Creative Strategist, Jason Keath.

As this being my first WordCamp I’m excited to join others who are passionate about WordPress. Also I’m looking forward to joining other colleges on a panel to discuss promoting and marketing your blog and the keynote session from Mark Jaquith.

Also I still want to apologize again to the Triangle, NC (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) community for WordCampRDU being suspended. Someone else will be planning WordCampRDU for 2009.

Again looking forward to Saturday for CLTWordCamp and as always follow the tweets (@waynesutton) for updates.

Blog Promotion: Who are you pinging?

This weekend I’ll be perticipating on a panel about blog promotion at WordCamp Charlotte, we’re going to have conversations on differnet ways to increase your blog readership and using social media to build an audience to get your blog infront of the readers you want to stick.

For some pinging may be old school in the blogosphere but it’s still needed, so I thought why not post a list of urls that I ping. Not included on the list are pinging sites such as http://pingoat.com.

What pinging services do you use?
