Follow\u00a0@TechieFamily<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Chrissie will be giving a talk titled “Top Tips to Trigger Traffic<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

\n

What is your favorite improvement to WordPress this past year?<\/h3>\n

I’m super excited about Automattic\u2019s recent acquisition of Woo.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Montreal?<\/h3>\n

While I was at a WordCamp in Toronto, I attended a session in which Kathryn Presner talked about becoming a speaker. I have heard Montreal is a beautiful city and that the WordCamp is amazing so I thought I would propose my topic.<\/p>\n

What is your talk going to be about?<\/h3>\n

Top Tips for Triggering Traffic. How to draw viewers to your site.<\/p>\n

What is the one thing you want people to walk away with from your talk?<\/h3>\n

I want people to walk away with the confidence that proactive steps they take can draw more viewers.<\/p>\n

Who in the WordPress community inspires you? Who do you follow?<\/h3>\n

I am very inspired by those who are technologically challenged, yet blog anyway. Their willingness to step outside their zone to join our community is very inspiring. I follow writers I meet in our Blogging University courses as well as friends, family and co-workers.<\/p>\n

What new feature would you like to see in the future?<\/h3>\n

I would love to access revision history in the new editor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
