WordCamp Chicago Mini-Interview

  1. I first became interested when I started my own personal blog. The more I learned how to use WordPress for my personal blog, the more interested I became. Then I realized that this could be something I could turn into a career. The rest is history.
  1. I love to teach. Speaking at WordCamps gives me the opportunity to teach others what I know about WordPress.
  1. WordPress is different from other platforms for a few reasons. The first is the sheer number of people who help to make WordPress better. The more hands we have to make it better, the better it becomes. Another reason is that WordPress is both a hobby and a career. Many people work to make WordPress the greatest CMS because they want to and not because their job tells them to. That shows a big difference in how the work is accomplished. The biggest difference in WordPress to other CMS’s is the sheer heart of the WordPress Community. I have never seen a more close knit professional community like the WordPress Community.
