WordPress Media Tools for Creatives<\/a> in the User \/ Admin<\/a> track<\/p>\n Everybody’s needs and audiences are different. I want people to leave informed on how to choose the right audio, video, or visual presentation for their work in particular. <\/p>\n I love coaching people on WordPress, and it’s always nice to share with a larger group.<\/p>\n I’ve been managing publishing in all sorts of formats forever, and as a production manager, I get a little obsessed with the back-end tools and workflow possibilities for editorial and design teams. Even back in the earl(ier) days, WordPress was straightforward, easy to teach and use, and it clearly had a community dedicated to its future progress.<\/p>\n For my own self-hosted uses, I am very attached to Advanced Custom Fields. Sleek, well-organized, but not overloaded with features I don’t use.<\/p>\n Over in Montreal, Toronto is just far enough away that there’s not a ton of regular crossover. It’s so nice to join the Toronto WordPress community at least once a year! Looking forward to seeing all the faces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Denise Williams has been working with digital content tools for more than 15 years, producing websites and print publications from alt-weekly newspapers (like the Santa Barbara Independent) to luxury custom publications (like Mercedes-Benz) to iOS Newsstand magazines (like Reader\u2019s Digest).
