Tell us a bit about yourself and how you use WordPress:
I’m Andy Stratton, I’m a freelance WordPress developer, owner/operator of Sizeable Interactive, speaker, author and coworker. I’ve been building websites for the past 17 years, starting out in Tripod, Geocities and AngelFire – true veterans will know what I’m talking about.
I fell in love with WordPress years ago during a small freelance project where I created my first plugin to manage bio on WordPress version 1.5. Today, I use the latest stable version of WordPress to create custom themes and plugins for clients all over the country on a full-time basis.

Community – how great it is and how we can keep it great – most importantly, why it’s important.
