Happy New Year, WordPressers!

Phew - it turns out that the world did not end in 2012. Congratulations, survivors! Welcome to a brand-spankin'-new year of meetups.

2013 is kicking off with some good ol' fashioned planning.

If you've always wanted to talk about X and we've been rambling on about Y for so many months that it's making you crazy, then this meetup is for you!

Some items that will be discussed include...

What WordPress topics should we cover in future presentations?
Are there other types of meetups that you'd like to see? e.g. panels, website clinics.
Is there anything else that you'd like to see the group do in the future?

Post-Meetup Drinks n' Socializing

We'll be heading to the Duke of Kent pub on Yonge Street after the meetup.

Can't make the meetup? No problem!

Our discussions will be documented and made available to everyone after the meetup. You can also join the conversation on Twitter (hashtag #WPTO). Got questions? Drop them in the comments below.

See you on the 26th!

Hi everyone, I just started a WP blog to review documentary films (www.watchthisdoc.wordpress.com). My biggest challenge (don't laugh) is figuring out how to limit the number of stories on the home page. It just keeps scrolling lower and lower....anyway, just thought I'd throw it out there in case any kind soul in this group wanted to have a look at it in advance of saturday.

  The setting is in Settings/Reading you set "blog pages show at most" to the value you want

  Hi Carrie, it sounds like you're dealing with Infinite Scroll - a feature on WordPress.com blogs. You can turn it off under SETTINGS -> READING in your WP dashboard. More info: http://en.support.wor... Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, I can't make it to the meetup but one topic I'd really like to know more about is Google Analytics - if someone in the group is knowledgeable and could put on a presentation at a future meeting, that would be awesome! : )
