Presentation: Moving from WordPress.com to .org<\/h3>\n

Which WordPress is right for you?\u00a0We\u2019ll compare the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org to help you understand if you should stick with WordPress.com or move to a self-hosted WordPress.org installation.<\/p>\n

Bloggers who start out on WordPress.com may later decide that a self-hosted WordPress.org site is a better choice for them. If you\u2019re in that position, this session will help you to make the move.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What do you want people to learn from your talk?<\/h3>\n

How to move to a self-hosted .org installation if that’s what’s best for them.<\/p>\n

What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?<\/h3>\n

WordPress is open source, user-friendly and so good for SEO. What\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n

What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?<\/h3>\n

Toronto’s WordPress community is growing strong. WordCamp is a great opportunity to get together to share ideas and celebrate all that WordPress is.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Toronto?<\/h3>\n

There is a spirit of generosity and collaboration in the open source WordPress community. It is about people working together for the common good in a non-competitive way. Building upon each others ideas to create a better platform. \u00a0Speaking at WordCamp is an opportunity for me to give back to the WordPress community.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite WordPress theme or plugin, and why?<\/h3>\n

Backup Buddy<\/a> is a fabulous premium plugin. Not only can you backup your website on a regular basis but this plugin makes it so easy to migrate a WordPress site to another domain or server.<\/p>\n
