Cristina Robinson is a Sacramento-based designer and blogger with over 10 years of experience.<\/p>\n
Her passion for web design began in high school where she created layouts on LiveJournal, web pages on Yahoo! Geocities and managed her high school\u2019s website. She\u2019s been growing her skills ever since teaching herself WordPress, PHP, LESS, Sass, and design. She graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Web Design and Interactive Media from The Art Institute of California – Sacramento in 2012 and has worked for two local web agencies as well as freelance.<\/p>\n
Cristina is currently the UI\/UX Designer at Sacramento digital marketing agency Three29 and can be found blogging at TheLovelyGeek.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n We\u2019re thrilled Cristina will be speaking at WordCamp Sacramento 2016 on the Best Practices For Creating Content!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To help you learn even more about Cristina, we asked her to answer a few questions for us, some WordPress-related, and some others we think you’ll appreciate \ud83d\ude42 Be sure to give her a shout out on Twitter<\/a> and don\u2019t forget to use our hashtag #wcsac<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Anyone that populates content knows how much of a struggle it can be, especially when problems arise because of how we\u2019re inputing that content into WordPress. <\/p>\n It\u2019s a very common problem we run into with clients. They\u2019ll write up their content in Microsoft Word or a Google Doc, copy and paste directly to the WordPress editor, and then their page is broken or not showing up the way they anticipated. <\/p>\n I want to help people understand what happens, why it happens, and what the solutions are. Not only will this help someone creating content, but it can help project managers when their clients are running into this issue as well.<\/p>\n The year was 2006. I was using a blogging system called Greymatter, which was fairly popular at the time among bloggers who wanted to host their own blog. However, it was terrible when it came to comment spam. It got so bad I knew I needed a better solution. WordPress was gaining popularity in the blogging community as well, but it seemed daunting. My need for a better blogging system outweighed my fear, so I took the plunge, gave it a try, and haven\u2019t looked back since!<\/p>\n Most of what I do as a designer and developer revolves around WordPress. It\u2019s basically become an industry standard. I started attending WordCamps in 2013, and it\u2019s helped me connect with a great community of people and learn new things. I never expected WordPress to be at the core of what I do when I first started using it 10 years ago.<\/p>\n Personally, I use it for blogging, and professionally, I use it as a way for clients to easily maintain their site.<\/p>\n The more I work with WordPress, the more I learn and discover new ways to do things. I\u2019m always learning something new, whether it\u2019s WordPress itself or discovering new plugins. As long as I use WordPress, I will never stop learning.<\/p>\n Outlander!<\/em> by Diana Gabaldon. I became obsessed with the TV show this year, so now I\u2019m reading the series.<\/p>\n The Melting Pot. Can\u2019t go wrong with their Original Chocolate Fondue.<\/p>\n It’s a tie between Outlander and Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n I love blogging about all kinds of things, especially decorating my house, on my lifestyle blog, The Lovely Geek. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family as well as watching movies\/tv, doing yoga, and serving at church with my husband.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Get To Know Cristina Robinson Cristina Robinson is a Sacramento-based designer and blogger with over 10 years of experience.
