Rick is presenting: Getting WordPress to Speak Your Language and Introduction to WordPress
| Why WordPress? Why do you like using WordPress? | I work with WordPress because it’s really easy to use. My clients get web sites that they can manage and update mostly on their own, and as a developer I get a framework that is easy to modify or extend with add-ons and plugins. |
| Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Ottawa? | I’ve worked with WordPress for the past 5 years, and I want to see it continue to grow. Organizing this WordCamp and speaking too, provides an opportunity to give back to the WordPress community in a way that supports it and helps it thrive. |
| What is your talk going to be about? | My talk on multilingual WordPress is intended to introduce users of all levels the concepts and resources needed to be able to set-up a WordPress site in one or more languages other than the default English.
The “Introduction to WordPress” is to help new WordPress users get a running start before all the sessions on Saturday. |
| What is your favourite WordPress plugin or theme? Why? | As a developer I use a lot of different plugins, but few that I use most of the time are Gravity Forms, Google Analytics for WordPress, and TinyMCE Advanced. I’m also using a couple new ones for building multilingual sites on WordPress multisite – Multisite Language Switcher and WP Native Dashboard. |
