Neville Hobson (@jangles / Neville Hobson / For Immediate Release)

who cordially invite you to Bloggade.
Bloggade, the collective noun for a gathering of bloggers, is a meeting of minds where you will learn tips and tricks about blogging and WordPress.
The focus of this first Bloggade is on the underlying technology that powers many WordPress blogs. You’ll experience a tour of Timico’s £5m Midlands datacentre that opened in 2012, and see at first hand the technology that powers the web including many WordPress blogs hosted with WebHostingBuzz at the datacentre.
We have round table discussions planned on WordPress hosting, hardware, search engine optimization and more, all addressing the topics from a non-technical perspective, but in the true round table spirit – anything and everything to do with WordPress is up for discussion.
Bring your questions, comments and experiences!
After the discussion, we’ll migrate to a top class local pub where light snacks and drinks will be provided courtesy of Timico. We hope to continue the WordPress-oriented discussion and share tips/success stories/ideas.
Agenda:
12.30 Arrive at the Timico Newark Datacentre – intros & coffee
13.00 Blogger round table – hardware, servers, hosting and more including a look at the latest WordPress release 3.6
14.00 Data centre tour

Travel Guidelines
The event is being held at the Timico Datacentre in Newark, NG24 2AG.
If you are driving then you should come directly to that location where there is ample secure parking.
If you are coming by train – Timico’s HQ (NG24 2TN) in Newark is a 15 minute walk from Newark Northgate railway station (1hr 20mins from Kings X).
This is an easy walk along a footpath that runs parallel to the railway line or a 2 minute taxi ride.
The Datacentre and HQ buildings are next to each other.
There are trains every half hour or so from Kings Cross – the 11.08 will get you in at 12.30 which should be perfect timing unless you wanted to get there earlier and take in a little of “Historic Newark” beforehand.
