I will be attending this years (2009) SXSW Interactive Festival again this year, and I’m really excited! This makes my third trip to Austin for the SXSW Festival and, I have to say, if you’ve never gone and have the opportunity to this year, or in the future – it’s WELL worth the trip!

I’m not just attending, however – I am appearing together with ServerBeach to bring you (the attendees) some WordPress Goodies to take home with you! ServerBeach (powered by Peer1) is an awesome dedicated, self-managed hosting services that we have been in business with for the past 6 years, we lease equipment and rack space from ServerBeach as the foundation for our blog hosting services. Aside from being an extremely happy customer of ServerBeach – I am also a big fan of their overall philosophy of going to great lengths to satisfy the needs of our core customers, the “Geeks” – people like WordPress users and attendees of the SXSW Interactive Festival. This may all sound like a huge sales pitch, but it’s not really – - it’s a lead in to some exciting goings on between myself and ServerBeach at the SXSW Festival!

I will be appearing at the ServerBeach exhibit booth at the following times:

Saturday March 13: 1-4pm
Sunday March 14: 1-4pm
Monday March 15: 1-3pm

1. WordPress For Dummies: ServerBeach will be giving away free copies of WordPress For Dummies at their booth, and as a bonus – I will be present in the times stated above, to do book signings. So stop by the ServerBeach booth and pick up your FREE autographed copy of WordPress For Dummies. Already have a copy? No problem – stop by the booth to say hi ? I love to meet my readers, and I?ll sign your copy!
2. WordPress Q&A: During the times I will be at the ServerBeach booth, I am also available to do a quickie WordPress Q&A if you have any specific questions on how to use WordPress on your site or blog. I?ll have my laptop ready with a clean install of WordPress open, ready for your questions.
3. Premium themes, anyone?? I do a lot of custom design work for WordPress users here at E.Webscapes – - for SXSW I am doing 5 free Premium themes for WordPress users – available ONLY to SXSW attendees who stop by the ServerBeach exhibit booth on March 14-16, 2009. Here?s what you do: stop by the booth and ask for the super secret link to Lisa?s Premium WordPress themes they are giving away. That?s it! (the themes are free and completely GPL). I will be guest posting a bit over on the ServerBeach Blog and giving away a few more details on these themes, including some teaser shots and info. Subscribe to the ServerBeach Blog RSS Feed to get those updates as they come over the next few weeks leading up to the SXSW Interactive Festival! (ServerBeach might might give these themes away to the general public after SXSW is over – that is up to them, but for now, they?re available from the ServerBeach exhibit booth at SXSW exclusively.)

If you’re planning on attending SXSW this year – - be sure to look me up at the ServerBeach Exhibit Booth. I hear they are giving away some of their brand spankin’ new T-Shirts at their booth this time around, too!
