1) Why do you like using WordPress?
As a WordPress novice myself, I love the active and helpful community that WordPress users and developers have created.

2) Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Ottawa?
To me it is all about creative empowerment for everyone, any time, in any medium. WordPress figures so prominently in the creative space of our digital planet, how could I not want to speak at WordCamp Ottawa?

3) What is the one thing you want people to walk away with from your talk?
Copyrighted content presents complex issues for site development, but there are many simple solutions available if WordPress users take the time to develop and apply copyright management strategies.

4) What is your favourite WordPress plugin or theme? Why?
I like the full range of copyright related plugins because they reflect a set of tools to implement a practical and effective copyrighted content management plan for any WordPress user.
