Joshua’s presentation:<\/span> Best Practices & Admin Customization (co-presenting with Alex)<\/p>\n

How many years have you used WordPress?<\/span> 5<\/p>\n

I look forward to speaking because:<\/span> I’m fascinated by the flexibility and power of WordPress. Customizing themes and the admin is rewarding but knowing the best practices of “”how”” and “”when”” to do so make all the difference.<\/p>\n

Favorite WordPress Project: <\/span>The one Arod and I just finished for a technology leasing firm. We used twitter bootstrap for the front end and added some\u00a0 unique custom post types and meta boxes to create a great user experience.<\/p>\n

In the future, I see WordPress being used for\u00a0<\/span> Enterprise development projects as a fully customized CMS.<\/p>\n

WordPress has changed the way I\u00a0<\/span>Develop. I now consider the best possible end user experience and WordPress allows me to achieve it.<\/p>\n

Best real-life camping story:<\/span> Camping in Red Rocks Oklahoma, We ran out of firewood and batteries for our flashlights. A raccoon snuck up in the middle of the night and woke me up by loudly snacking on the Fritos I had left out… scary at the time but funny looking back.<\/p>\n

See Joshua & other great WordPressers at WordCamp STL 2012
