It's funny how things work out. As a bit of an introvert (if you are interested, you can read more about being an introvert in a post I wrote for ShropGeek here) I have a real love / hate relationship with public speaking. I love the feeling I get when I'm actually doing the talk and the... Continue Reading →
If you design, develop, or manage websites using WordPress then you will want to be at this. A whole weekend of talks and workshops dedicated to WordPress! And, as one of the core organising team I can say that it is definitely going to be much fun. 🙂 No matter whether you are beginner and what to learn... Continue Reading →
