With some 70,000,000 users world-wide, it is safe to say that WordPress is very popular as both a CMS and blogging platform. Here in Portland, Oregon we have a very active Meetup group that hosts two meetings per month, so for August you can learn more about WordPress at:
- Developer: Getting to Know the WordPress Customizer. August 12th
- User: Content is King – Creating compelling content on your WordPress site. August 18th
Note that the first Meetup is for developers (aka programmers), people that actually code with PHP, Javascript, jQuery, CSS, HTML or MySQL.
The second  Meetup is for users of WordPress, not developers.
