Content is so important in a successful website. Having an easy-to-use media manager makes it easy to find, manage, insert, and delete user-uploaded content, leading to more healthy and successful long-term WordPress installations!<\/p>\n<h3>Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Montreal?<\/h3>\n<p>I was very inspired by WordCamp Ottawa to give back to the WordPress community, and found the first opportunity for me to do so!<\/p>\n<h3>What is your talk going to be about?<\/h3>\n<p>My talk is about one the coding language that powers the internet, HTML. Instead of a heavy and dry lecture, my talk is focused on the key HTML tags you need to know to master the WordPress Editor. If you&#8217;ve ever had a post not look right upon publishing, it&#8217;s often because of a simple HTML tag. My talk will help you develop the confidence to understand these tags and accomplish common blogging tasks like inserting links, pictures, and basic formatting &#8211; no headache required!<\/p>\n<h3>What is the one thing you want people to walk away with from your talk?<\/h3>\n<p>I want people to walk away confident that HTML is not as scary as they once thought, and encouraged to learn more!<\/p>\n<h3>Who in the WordPress community inspires you? Who do you follow?<\/h3>\n<p>So many people it&#8217;s hard to list! <\/p>\n<h3>What new feature would you like to see in the future?<\/h3>\n<p>I would like to see more structure\/exportability\/compatibility around Custom Post Types. Right now we are heading into data locking territory, not good!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meagan Hanes is the Creative Architect of Love Digimedia, an Ottawa-based online presence solutions company specializing in WordPress for small businesses, solopreneurs, and artists.
