NILE FLORES:<\/strong> What got you interested in WordPress?<\/p>\n

BRIAN GOLDSTEIN:<\/strong> I’m having a hard time actually remembering. I knew I wanted to blog way back in 2006-07, and didn’t want to use LiveJournal or Blogspot.<\/em><\/p>\n

NILE FLORES:<\/strong> What is the most interesting WordPress-related project you\u2019ve worked on?<\/p>\n

BRIAN GOLDSTEIN:<\/strong> Anything that I’ve done with Billy and Justin (my partners in Our Collective<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n

NILE FLORES:<\/strong> Name 3 WordPress plugins that have always been on your MUST install list, and why.<\/p>\n

BRIAN GOLDSTEIN:<\/strong> I’m partial to Advanced Custom Fields, Custom Post Types UI, and Gravity Forms. <\/em><\/p>\n

NILE FLORES:<\/strong> What is something interesting about you that the WordPress community doesn\u2019t know?<\/p>\n

BRIAN GOLDSTEIN:<\/strong> I require Chinese food once a fortnight. <\/em><\/p>\n

NILE FLORES:<\/strong> In regards to new WordPress users, what one or two pieces of advice would you give them that could be very helpful?<\/p>\n

BRIAN GOLDSTEIN:<\/strong> My advice is twofold. Always have your own domain, and enjoy tinkering with it, but learn how to develop locally and test it first.<\/em><\/p>\n

Please feel free to get to know Brian at the event on March 14 & 15, 2015. You can also ask questions below in the comments.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t got your ticket, please get your ticket<\/a> while it’s available. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
