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

Sometime in late ’06 I was tasked with setting up a blog for a client. I had been hacking through Joomla & writing my own custom CMSs for the last couple of years and didn’t want to go that route for this project. I got their blog up and running without any trouble, so I started exploring what WP could really do.<\/p>\n

After a couple of projects with WP I was hooked. Haven’t looked back since.<\/p>\n

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

All of my interactions with the community have been extremely positive. Everyone is very welcoming and shares their knowledge without any expectations. I try to do the same whenever I can.<\/p>\n

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

Mitcho is my hero.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Hands down, custom post types, they allow us to do anything with WP.<\/p>\n

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

I dunno, internet?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
