What\u2019s been your best experience with WordPress?<\/h3>\n

Do you have an hour? LOL! WordPress has changed my life. I have even given talks about it (which is where the #wplife movement came from). You can watch the talks on WordPress TV. One of them was they keynote address at WordCamp Rochester where I discuss how my livelihood, friends, travel, and relationships have come from the WordPress community.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about your WordCamp Halifax talk.<\/h3>\n

I’ll be on the best WordCamp Halifax business panel you’ve ever seen!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favourite thing about attending WordCamps?<\/h3>\n
