I just spoke at WordCamp Manchester – my talk was an updated version of “10 Steps to doing your own thing (with WordPress)” that I gave at WordShesh a while ago.

Here’s a few post-talk Tweets from the event:

Run your business from anywhere – it's not where you're from, it's what you're doing, says @mkjones #wcmcr
