Hi I’m Ruth of Dandelion Web Design. I’ve been designing and developing web sites since the late 1990′s. I also co-teach LearnWP WordPress Workshops in Toronto with Dawn Comber.

Workshop Session

Website Assessment clinic in the Content and Business track

Why did you decide to present?

I’ve spoken at WordCamp Toronto for several years and it has always been a great experience. It’s one way I like to pay it forward, recognizing how much WordPress has given to me.

What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?

I came to WordPress in 2008 looking for a user-friendly, secure content management solution for my clients. I was sold on WordPress when I discovered that with plugins you could so easily add new functionality to your site and with automatic updates you would always have the latest and greatest WordPress has to offer.

What is your favourite plugin or theme, and why?

Today’s favourite plugin will be the one that solves a need for my current project. If I have to pick just one, it would be WordPress SEO by Yoast.

What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?

I’m looking forward to seeing friends from the WordPress Toronto community. A whole weekend talking WordPress – what could be better?
