Last week, I was in New York City for WordCamp and some client meetings. The event was a huge success, with four full tracks of expert designers, developers, and WordPress professionals sharing what they’ve learned.
I had a great time with everyone there. I saw old friends, and met new friends.
I had my recording equipment with me, and I asked a question to some folks there: how has WordPress changed your life?
Here are their answers:
And here are just a few of the pictures I took, from WordCamp and some just from around the city. I’m not much of a photographer, but feel free to use any of these however you wish:
I’d like to thank the organizers for their efforts, the sponsors for their investment in the WordPress community, the speakers for their wisdom, and the attendees for their hunger to learn and connect with like-minded individuals.
If you’ve never attended a WordCamp — especially one outside of your own city — I highly encourage you do. They are so fun. There are a number of events coming up that I’ll be at as well, so I hope you’ll say hi there: WordCamp Birmingham (August 16th), WordCamp San Francisco (October 25-26th), and PressNomics (January 22nd-24th).
WordPress got me out of working alone and into a community of friendly nurturing people. That changed everything.
WordPress changed my life as I now have a job that combines two of my favorite things: photography and WordPress. On a daily basis I have the honor of interacting with photographers who use WordPress, offer advice and help solve problems. Joining Photocrati and working in the WordPress industry full-time was the second best decision of my life (next to marrying my wife).
WordPress really changed my life.
Before WordPress I was using other CMS’s, like Drupal, Typo3 and mostly Joomla.
I always thought that WordPress was just for blogging.
Joomla pissed me off many times and on a great day I stared looking for a CMS that was more reliable.
When WordPress and I met the first time, it was love at first sight.
Wordpress was so easy to use, so logical and the plugins were awesome.
After a couple of weeks I wanted to know more about WordPress and how to changes themes. I got into HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and Photoshop.
I still love WordPress, to me it’s not just a CMS, WordPress is better then any human I have ever met.
Wordpress is trustworthy, beautiful and always logical.
I love WordPress! It has so many uses and makes everything I do so much easier.
