What do you enjoy most about working in WordPress?

I love the flexibility that WordPress provides. Virtually any sort of look and functionality is possible — and with plenty of different pathways for achieving it. In addition, I have met so many kind, helpful people in the community.

What do you love most about your Post Status membership?

Post Status is a great place to connect with others who work with WordPress. Whether you want to talk about code, product marketing or the latest #WPDrama, there’s always something interesting going on.

What business/web/WordPress advice do you have for others in our industry?

Take time to discover your niche. It’s not always readily apparent. For example, it took me over a decade to find WordPress. Now, much of what I do revolves around it.

We’re happy to have Eric as a Post Status member!
