<\/a>Tell us a bit about yourself and how you use WordPress<\/strong>
\nI am a 26 year old WordPress Developer that only takes a break for Nascar, Coca Cola and Nascar. I use WP to manage clients, supporting questions asked by clients, task management and obviously, Building terrific sites. I would learn other Content Management Systems, if clients asked. They Don’t. <\/p>\n
\nI will be talking about the plugins that anyone can use for free to add features to any theme. These Include, but are not limited to: Contact Form 7, Lightbox Plus, and JetPack.<\/p>\n
\nThe day to day WP users that want to learn about the advantages they can gain by using some of the most popular plugins. <\/p>\n
\nI hope that Campers will learn more about plugins and how they add something specific to their theme, site and or company blog\/site.<\/p>\n
\nI have two. Gravity Forms for obvious reasons, and WooCommerce. These two do something very unique. But you can combine them and make some truly awesome and powerful websites. <\/p>\n
\nAs in one? No! I have a few! Matt Mullenweg, John Hawkins, Austin Passy, Ryan Imel, Dre Armada and Sarah Gooding. <\/p>\n
\nSo many, as I live here. My favorite would have to be the time I drank 5 or 6 “Chelsea Slammers” inside Little Darlings and had my grandfather pick me up on his birthday. To this day I do not know what the slammers consist of or how they are made. All I know is that I have never said no and I regret every single time. I went with some friends to an 18 and over strip club and Chelsea was able to sneak her drinks into the club. We drank them in a hurry, so we wouldn’t get caught. Those drinks crept up on us in a hurry and the bouncer called my grandfather who picked me up. It was on his birthday. in the car was my parents and family members who were in town. <\/p>\n
\nAfter WordCamp, WordCampes attend a social function at a local bar as long as you are of age. So Last year we went to the Freakin’ Frog and I met Mathew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare. I had a beer with Colin Lortez and consumed 3 $12 beers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
