Check out our mini interview with Kathy Alice below:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the topic of your WordCamp talk?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2018.sacramento.wordcamp.org\/session\/site-migration-redesign-seo\/\">Site Migration? Redesign? Don\u2019t Tank Your SEO<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you think this is important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every SEO&#8217;s nightmare is someone who shows up and says: &#8220;Hey we just moved and redesigned our site, so what happened to all our organic traffic? It&#8217;s much easier for everyone if a few steps are taken before the move. <\/p>\n<p>I did do a test run of this topic at a meetup and it was well received &#8211; people felt it was useful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your WordPress origin story?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a blog since 2009 and have been part of the WordPress community through meetups and WordCamps for many years. Although I don&#8217;t build WordPress sites anymore (I did a few back in the day), the fact that WordPress powers a quarter of the websites on the web means I come across many WordPress websites. I&#8217;m amazed how it has evolved. My clients that have WordPress love that I will log in and fix stuff for them, I don&#8217;t make the same promise for other CMS systems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has WordPress impacted your world?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having a creative outlet (my blog, where I write about SEO), is something I love and wish I had more time to write and make my site better. I love the WordPress community and the people I meet &#8212; often are bloggers or someone with a cool idea that puts together a website and runs with it. It&#8217;s inspiring. WordPress gets a lot right with SEO, so sometimes it is a relief to work on a WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can connect with Kathy Alice further at:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kathyalice\">@kathyalice<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kathyalice\/\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Get Your Ticket ASAP!<\/h2>\n<p>WordCamp Sacramento 2018 sold out in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and we do expect it to sell out again.
