Aaron’s presentation:<\/span>\u00a0Advanced Theming: Building Custom Functionality to Make Your Theme Work for You<\/p>\n

How many years have you used WordPress?<\/span> 4 years total, 1 year professionally<\/p>\n

I look forward to speaking because:<\/span> I am excited about getting people to think bigger about their theme and get away from the “out of the box” concept. I want to teach people how small customizations can turn WordPress into a powerful tool.<\/p>\n

Favorite WordPress Project: <\/span> Currently, I am working on a standardized WordPress template for WashU that includes a ton of functionality built in. This template will not only standardize WashU’s brand across multiple platforms, but give us the ability to deploy robust sites quickly.<\/p>\n

In the future, I see WordPress being used for\u00a0<\/span> every site that calls for content management. WordPress is the swiss army knife of website platforms.<\/p>\n

WordPress has changed the way I\u00a0<\/span>approach any web development project.<\/p>\n

Best real-life camping story:<\/span> I love cooking over the camp fire. One morning, I’m unsure how, but my hash browns turned out charcoal grey – they tasted just fine. Now, anytime I go camping I get the request for my infamous grey hash browns.<\/p>\n
