This September 25-27, 2009 is the 6th annual Ohio Linux Fest. In this special edition of TechPodcasts Network Weekly podcast Angelo from Plugins, The WordPress Plugins Podcast speaks with Beth Lynn, one of the organizers for the Ohio Linux Fest and blogger of What Will We Use discuss the coming Linux fest, Linux and WordPress.

Besides discussing Ohio Linux Fest, we discuss Linux User Groups (LUGs) in the region as well as other Linux Fests that are taking place in other parts of the country. We also learn about what bug 1 (bug number one) is.

Later on in our conversation with Beth Lynn, we discuss her WordPress blog What Will We Use and some of the plugins she is using.  Beth Lynn highly recommends the W3Counter WordPress plugin and service to track web visitors. It can be used together or as an alternative to Google Analytics. From the looks of W3Counter, this would provide ideal web statistics if your interested in knowing the platforms your visitors are using.

Beth Lynn also goes into detail with her experience with poorly written WordPress themes and outdated WordPress plugins. This is a common problem with WordPress that many of us have dealt with at one time or another.
