WordPress Q&A With Heather<\/h2>\n

Why WordPress? Why do you use it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s free, it’s easy to use, teach, and build sites with. Plus the community is pretty fun and unique.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What is your favorite thing\/feature in WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s a tricky one, I love all things drag and drop, and the customizer is neat-o, but I\u2019m going to go with the power and availability of extensions like themes and plugins that make WordPress a powerhouse.<\/p>\n

Share 1-2 plugins you use often and think people need to know about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jetpack for the win! That plugin does things it used to take 6-10 plugins to do. I also like the events calendar by Modern Tribe, I\u2019ve tried a lot of calendars and it’s the best.<\/p>\n

How has the community made a difference for you or influenced you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I never know that there were so many people who got really excited (like I do) about things like semantic design, improving user experience, and content strategy. I found my people.<\/p>\n

What makes Sacramento awesome? Why should people be excited to come to Sacramento for WordCamp?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ah, so many things. Two rivers people! We have 2 gorgeous rivers flowing through our city! Add to that an amazing arts scene, great restaurants (farm to fork capital), locally-owned boutiques, a richly preserved history, a walkable downtown and midtown, trains (I like trains), a thriving beer and artisanal cocktail scene, and an authentic, wooden-boardwalk-cobble-stone-streets-cops-on-horseback-paddle-boat-saloon-filled old town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
