Randy’s presentation:<\/span> Hooks & Filters<\/p>\n

How many years have you used WordPress?<\/span> 4.5<\/p>\n

I look forward to speaking because:<\/span> hooks & filters make it possible to manipulate WordPress Core, Themes & Plugins. Once you grasp the concepts (of hooks and filters) you really can make WordPress do anything!<\/p>\n

Favorite WordPress Project:<\/span> My core theme. I\u2019ve been working on it since 2008 and it\u2019s finally starting to become a fairly decent framework. Though I will admit it has a long way to go!<\/p>\n

In the future, I see WordPress being used for<\/span>\u00a0a code library, a CMS, & yet it will always be able to hold just a simple website.<\/span><\/p>\n

WordPress has changed the way I<\/span>\u00a0interact with clients.<\/span> Now I can hand off the site & don’t have to worry about mundane updates that in the past only a developer could do.<\/p>\n

Best real-life camping story:<\/span> My friends and I almost started a forest fire. In the dry heat of Northern California it was not a good thing. It took us almost 24hrs of hiking water from the lake to keep the secondary fires out while the main died down! Lesson learned :p<\/p>\n

See Randy & other great WordPressers at WordCamp STL 2012
