Cooking with BuddyPress
I’m sitting downstairs at WordCamp 2009 in San Fransisco. Up on stage right now, Andy Peatling creator of BuddyPress.

Extending BuddyPress
- BuddyPress is as extensible as WordPress
- All BuddyPress components are coded and structured the same way
- BuddyPress functions allow you to talk to the theme
