Why Do You Use WordPress?<\/strong>
\nI use WordPress for my clients sites and empower them to utilize the CMS.<\/p>\n

When and How Did You Start Using WordPress?<\/strong>
\nI started in 2007-2008 when I was getting involved in SEO and found the easiness of WordPress. I created hundreds of websites over the years and have always fallen back on WordPress.<\/p>\n

What Tips or Resources would you recommend to a new WordPress User?<\/strong>
\nHave a plan of action. Try to see what you want to do in the end – what is your goal for your website and then work backwards. There is never one way to do things in WordPress (for the most part) – find the way that works for you.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give someone who\u2019s building a business around WordPress design or development?<\/strong>
\nGo simplistic and responsive. Don’t be afraid to experiment and learn to adapt.<\/p>\n

How do you stay informed about WordPress (news, tips, etc)?<\/strong>
\nI follow a list of WordPress developers on twitter, constantly looking at the codex helps too.<\/p>\n

What’s a cool WordPress based site you’ve seen recently?<\/strong>
\nThere is WAY too many. Each time I get asked this question I find one only to see a more unique one 30 minutes later.<\/p>\n

What do you like most about WordCamps?<\/strong>
\nThe ability to bring people up who think they aren’t ‘web-savvy’ or understand the lingo. People don’t surprise me anymore in WordCamps. Given a little time even the basic user can create something wonderful…and it can start at a WordCamp.<\/p>\n
