Julie is participating in the panel Building Your Business, Cause, or Brand using WordPress
| Why WordPress? Why do you like using WordPress? | When I decided to start a blog, I decided to hire a graphic design agency. I knew I wanted a great-looking blog and I knew darn well that I wouldn’t be able to create one because I have no technical skills to speak of. Really, I had no idea what WordPress was or why the agency chose it. But hey, five years later, and I’m still happy! WP has proven to be user-friendly, offer fantastic plug-ins, and most developers are happy to work with it. |
| Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Ottawa? | The thing I love most about blogging is the community, so when I was asked to join this panel, I said yes. |
| What is your talk going to be about? | Each person on the panel will share their experience with WordPress through their own particular filter — whether that’s to promote a company, their own writing, or a particular social cause that they are passionate about. For me, I will be sharing my perspective as a freelance writer and communications consultant. |
| What is your favourite WordPress plugin or theme? Why? | I’ve had great results with LinkWithin and I always click on other bloggers’ LinkWithin features as well. |
