Since Google never sleeps, more often than not your first impression will be made online. Having a WordPress website is key to standing out from your competition and becoming visible online. <\/p>\n

Once your WordPress site is up and running you can rest assured that you will be making a good first impression, even while you sleep. <\/p>\n

Why Do You Use WordPress?<\/strong>
\nI use WordPress because it’s easy to use and so versatile. I can use a basic theme and make no changes or I can make it highly customizable. The platform is flexible enough to provide many options for its users. <\/p>\n

When and How Did You Start Using WordPress?<\/strong>
\nI starting using WordPress in 2010. I was running for the local school board and knew I needed a website. A friend introduced me to WordPress, I built my site and never looked back. <\/p>\n

What Tips or Resources would you recommend to a new WordPress User?<\/strong>
\nFor new WordPress users, I recommend YourWebsiteEngineer.com<\/a>. It’s a tremendous resource for all things WordPress. I also recommend a free course I created to help my clients get started with WordPress at diywebsiteguy.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

How do you stay informed about WordPress (news, tips, etc)?<\/strong>
\nI listen to the Your Website Engineer podcast by Dustin Hartzler every week. In the podcast, Dustin provides great tips, advice and updates on all things WordPress. It’s a must listen! <\/p>\n

What’s a cool WordPress based site you’ve seen recently?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you like most about WordCamps?<\/strong>
\nLearning and networking. Everyone who attends is genuinely interested in helping others. It’s just a great atmosphere to be around like-minded people.<\/p>\n
