WordCamp Chicago Mini-Interview<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 When did you first become interested in WordPress?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I first used WordPress for a project in a business class in college in 2005 on version 1.5. \u00a0At the time, I was making sites on the side here and there and saw some of these new content management systems coming out. \u00a0At the time, WordPress was lacking many of the killer features it does now, but I could see the potential, especially since everything I made prior was static HTML pages. \u00a0I kept up with it through the next few years while trying out other solutions until in 2010 I started to move towards full-time web development. \u00a0I really became interested after finding a WordPress meetup. \u00a0The WordPress community hooked me in and I\u2019ve been ingrained in WordPress ever since.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 What motivated you to speak at WordCamp?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The community and my drive to challenge myself. \u00a0Prior to doing my first WordCamp talk, I had never done any public speaking outside of classes. \u00a0I knew it was something that I wanted to improve and I found that the WordPress community was very welcoming to allow me to grow this skill first through meetups, then through several WordCamps after.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Why do you think WordPress is different from other web platforms?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Again, I am going to bring the community into my answer. \u00a0The WordPress community drives the platform. \u00a0Other open source projects have great communities behind them too, but none seem to work in the same way as the WordPress community does. \u00a0It not only has brought us a great product and tool<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
