What’s been your best experience with WordPress?<\/h2>\n

Meeting amazing folks at conferences like WordCamps! All in all the WordPress community has been one of the most open and inviting ones I’ve seen.<\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about your WordCamp Ottawa talk.<\/h2>\n

The talk starts with the story of my journey into starting my first premium plugin, and some do’s and don’ts from my experience and from people who have a lot more experience than me. \u00a0By the end I hope you’ll be empowered and inspired to create your own.<\/p>\n

What’s your favourite thing about attending WordCamps?<\/h2>\n

Catching up with old friends and making new ones!<\/p>\n

What’s exciting you about WordPress in 2016?<\/h2>\n

Growth in users and the slow realization that WordPress is more than a blogging platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
