Do you have an interesting WordPress story?

“WordPress truly democratizes publishing. We learned this at a recent WordCamp, where we met a WWII veteran who is learning to code and develop on WordPress. His story was truly inspiring and an illustration of WordPress’ inclusiveness–anyone from beginners to advanced developers can use WordPress.”

Any advice for WordCamp attendees?
