How to Host a Successful Bridal ShowIn Feburary 2016 25,

Choose the appropriate venue. This is where you get to be creative and think outside the box. Every town is different, so it is imperative that you pay attention to current trends in your area. Are the brides-to-be (and their parents) small town, religious folk? Consider hosting your bridal show in a large church with a reception hall that can accommodate a large group, vendors, and refreshments. If you live in a larger area with a popular mall, you can host your show there so long as your shop and vendors are either from the mall itself or are not in competition with current shop owners.
Advertise. Start plugging your show at least a month before it is scheduled. Barter for airtime with your local radio station, have a local reporter do a write-up about your endeavor for the paper. Place fliers in the shops of all the vendors you have invited to the show. Advertise in the neighboring towns as well to draw a large crowd and hopefully expand your customer base.
Offer your audience variety. No one wants to attend a bridal show that only offers information on dresses, tuxedos and flowers. Invite jewelers, cake decorators, caterers, wedding planners, and travel agents along with the basic vendors. Don't forget that DJs, musical talent and photographers are also important to the big day. Display tables should have a varying style of invitations, wedding party gifts, and accessories for the show.
Put on a fun show. If you are hosting your bridal show in your town's mall, invite some of the mall employees to model your dresses and tuxedos for the event. Have a DJ on hand to play fun music while the models strut their stuff. Offer them gift certificates or discounts on merchandise in exchange for their services. Insist that your vendors contribute to a give-away basket that some lucky winner will take home after the show. Decorate the designated area with bridal decor that includes merchandise from some of the vendors, putting the audience in the mood to start planning (and buying).

How to Convert WordPress to MediaWikiIn Feburary 2016 12,

In Feburary 2016 12,
Go to your site's WordPress administration panel and sign into your account. For example, if your website's domain was 'yourdomain.com,' then the administration area is normally located at 'yourdomain.com/wp-admin/.'
Scroll down to the bottom left side of the administration dashboard, go to the 'Tools' section and click the 'Export' link.
Click the radio button for 'Posts' and click the 'Download Export File' button. WordPress creates a XML file that you can import to MediaWiki. It should automatically download to your computer wherever the browser normally saves downloaded files.
Import WordPress Content
Upload the WordPress XML dump file to your hosting account, preferably into the same directory as your MediaWiki installation.
Access your MediaWiki hosting account via a shell terminal. Enter the username and password to gain shell access.
Type 'php importDump.php wordpress.xml' at the terminal's command prompt.
Replace the actual file name of your WordPress XML dump file for the 'wordpress.xml' value in the command above.
Press the 'Enter' key to begin the import process. It may take several minutes and even longer if you have hundreds to thousands of records to import. Once it completes, you've successfully imported your WordPress content to MediaWiki.
