I am a copywriter, providing web content and content strategy to small businesses, non-profits and individuals. I also teach monthly LearnWP WordPress workshops in Toronto with Ruth Maude (we’re doing a joint session).
I’m an experimental gardener – this year I grew over 100 sweet potato plants in a community plot. I won’t be going that big next year!
Workshop session
Website Assessment clinic in the Content and Business track
What do you want people to learn from your presentation?
We want people to come away with practical tips make their websites better for users and better for search.
Why speak at #WCTO?
I enjoy sharing my WordPress and content experience. I also really like the whole concept of a sharing community – which is what WordPress has been for me.
What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?
I was attracted to WordPress because it’s user-friendly regardless of your comfort level with tech/code stuff. For example, those of us with little or no coding expertise can still make a website do cool things. You just need to find a plugin. Now that makes me happy.
What is your favourite plugin or theme, and why?
Another tricky question …. because there are so many. But Black Studio TinyMCE Widget is one of my favourites. This plugin adds a new Visual Editor widget type that allows you to insert rich text and media objects in widgets with no hassle.
What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?
Hard to choose but my top three would be:
- Reconnecting with friends & colleagues
- Talking about WordPress…
- Learning new things about WordPress …
