\n

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

This one is a little self-serving because of my involvement but I love the progress of http:\/\/www.wpphonesupport.com<\/a>, a WordPress service that offers SEO-based security, website updates, site speed optimization, backups and so on.<\/p>\n

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

I’m speaking at WordCamp Montreal to give back to the community which has been so great to me personally and professionally.<\/p>\n

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

TALK #1: The first WordCamp that I attended was in Montreal, in 2009. Since then, I have gone on to live what I call The WordPress Lifestyle (#wplife). I encourage everyone reading this to come to the talk and discover for yourself to what extent WordPress has had a positive influence on your life.<\/p>\n

TALK #2: I put together a great business advice panel for anyone who is using WordPress to make money (business owners, web designers, plugin creators, etc.). I’ll be hosting this year.<\/p>\n

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

TALK #1: There is much more to WordPress than blogging and making money. The community is unbelievable and I encourage people to get involved.<\/p>\n

TALK #2: Get advice on how to make the most of WordPress and profitability.<\/p>\n

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

The team behind The WP Crowd<\/a><\/p>\n

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

I’d like to be able to save menu settings (e.g., to have a revision history).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
