Josh will be speaking on “Rocking the Responsive Web<\/a>” on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interview with Josh:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why do you use WordPress?<\/b>
\nIt is by-far the most flexible and complete blogging platform and CMS I’ve ever found. It doesn’t hurt that the community is amazing, too!<\/p>\n

What do you like best about WordCamps?<\/b>
\nThe time to connect to other WordPress users, and the ability to hear their success stories and pain-points, so that I can continue to work on solutions to Internet problems.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite tip or resource for a new WordPress user?<\/b>
\nGoogle everything. The answers to almost every issue (certainly every issue a new WordPress user will come across) already exists. Don’t reinvent the wheel.<\/p>\n

What is a common problem you see in WordPress sites, and how would you avoid it?<\/b>
\nBloat. Please consider every decision you make and the impact it will make on site performance. There are too many slow WordPress sites.<\/p>\n

Do you have any advice for a person who’s building a business around WordPress design\/development?<\/b>
\nYou’re worth more than you think you are. Charge what you’re worth. If you sell yourself short, you sell the community short.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
