\nSay hi to Kelley:<\/p>\n

\"Kelley<\/p>\n

How long have you been working with WordPress and what first attracted you to it?<\/h3>\n

I started blogging on WordPress in 2007. I’d been writing on a proprietary blogging platform for half a year, and wanted to be in control of my own content and have more flexible display options. I had my own hosted server, so self-hosted WordPress was the best option.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on the WordPress community as a whole, including WordCamps?<\/h3>\n

I’m a big fan of community and collaboration. Being involved in many BarCamps for the real estate industry brought about some incredible opportunity, both to help and to be helped. I love that WordCamp offer a similar sense of camaraderie and support.<\/p>\n

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

I’m relatively new to the WordPress community, so I’m still meeting lots of people, figuring out who does what and where. I’m now stalking you all on Twitter. But in a totally non-creepy way. I’m nice, I promise.<\/p>\n

What is the most exciting feature\/addition\/improvement to WordPress that you have noticed in the last year?<\/h3>\n

Combining MU into the main codebase was huge for me – I was an early MU user, and needed to make my MU site look and function the same as my standard WP install, which was difficult.<\/p>\n

Where do you see WordPress 2 years from now?<\/h3>\n

I’m trusting that people much smarter than me are thinking about that. Watching WordPress grow over the past 4 years has been incredible. I trust the next 2 will continue to bring more functionality, more security, more flexibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
