Interview with Becky:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Why do you use WordPress?<\/b>
Because all of my clients said they wanted to edit their own sites. It’s a great framework that as a developer allows me almost unlimited flexibility.<\/p>\n

What do you like best about WordCamps?<\/b>
The community is what makes WordPress great and WordCamps are a big part of that. I always come away with new friends and at least one “ah ha” that makes the whole weekend worth it.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite tip or resource for a new WordPress user?<\/b>
Going to meetups and learning from others is what saved my life in the beginning. Never stop researching, there probably is a way to do it.<\/p>\n

Do you have any advice for a person who’s building a business around WordPress design\/development?<\/b>
Stick with it, don’t be afraid to ask questions; that’s what the community is for and don’t forget to track your time! (How else will you know what to charge?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
