Podcasts about wordcamp seattle

On the podcast today we have Mark Root-Wiley. Mark builds WordPress websites for nonprofits in Seattle, Washington, USA with a focus on accessibility and usability. He's a long-time WordPress community member in Seattle and has previously helped organise WordPress Seattle meetups and WordCamp Seattle speakers. He maintains Nonprofit WP, a free guide for people building WordPress websites for their nonprofits, and has a few free plugins available on WordPress.org. He's on the podcast today to talk about why he thinks that it would be useful for WordPress to adopt some CSS standards. Over the years, as WordPress has evolved, the way that you implemented CSS was very much left to the individual user, themer or developer. You could do what you like, and that worked very well, after all, we all have preferred ways of doing things. Now however, the reach of WordPress has outgrown those early roots and some 40+ percent of websites are using it. Projects that were built by one agency are often taken over by another. Users are often swapping themes to reflect their brand. Extra work is created for those inheriting sites as they try to unpick the way that the CSS is built and implemented. Mark thinks that it's time for WordPress to lay out some simple standards which are easy to understand, and if they became universal, would save us a lot of time and head scratching. He's not proposing anything radical, just some basic advice for the most commonly used CSS, and it's quite a compelling idea which would need a lot of community buy-in, and possibly some top-down approval if it were to move forwards. It's very much the kernel of an idea at present, but thought provoking nonetheless. Useful links.

In this episode, Jason Tucker and Bridget Willard, along with you in the chat room, will reminisce on the show, the community, technology, and even their own careers. We'd love to have you join in.Celebrating Two Years!!Late September 2015 – Bridget was working as an office manager for a construction company.  Jason said there was a new video / chat platform called Blab.im and decided he wanted to give it a try and suggested Bridget join him!Bridget said “I don’t know anything about WordPress” and Jason said “That’s why I want you to do the show!”Started as a 90 minute show and has since been trimmed back to an hourBlab.im allowed anyone to pop in as a random guest during the show and they had guests from countries all overWas originally just a WordPress focused show, so any topic around WordPress was fair game, has since evolved to focus on WordPress marketing and social mediaJust as Jason was starting to get tired of / annoyed with Blab.im … it went away! It was the perfect time to try a new platform – tried Firetalk and eventually landed on Google / YouTubeJason has been using Google Hangouts for about 5 years, so decided to keep using the platform for WPBlabHaving a show whose content is totally dependant on people showing up and asking questions proved very challenging, so moving to have a set topic with guests just made senseOriginally almost felt like a virtual meetup, where the audience was heavily involved in the content of each showBridget will be appearing in the Women Who WordPress panel at WordCamp Seattle this weekend (as a freelancer). She will also appear at WordCamp Rochester and will be at WCUS for Contributor Day with the Marketing team.Both Jason and Bridget have switched jobs since starting and Bridget is now freelancing.  Bridget has also now travelled to two different countries!Started ‘Community Connections’ spin-off this year with Bridget Willard and Jen Miller – highlighting members of the WordPress communityWhere do Jason & Bridget want to be in the next 2 years?Bridget hopes her life is personally and professionally drastically different! She also hopes she’s seen Iceland and learned how to do something WordPressy, like make a plugin!  She hopes she finally understands DNSJason is looking forward to some big new projects at workWhere did you think you’d be now, 20 years ago? Are you there, did you surpass it, fail to meet it?Bridget – I’ve exceeded my college education, but I don’t believe in 10, 20-year plans – when you meet people and experience things, your goals/dreams keep changing! “The more you experience in your life, the more your dreams change!”Jason – knew he’d be married and have a couple kids and be doing the kind of nerdy stuff he does! He’s happy with where he’s ended up and enjoys doing the podcasts and keeping up with his friends without having to be in the same room The coolest thing Bridget has learned is that she can do whatever she wants to do and succeed if she sets her mind to it, and her friends believe that she canShow notes contributed by:Cheryl LaPrade – @YayCherylSherie LaPrade – @HeySherieThe post WPblab EP87 – A Look Backward in Time appeared first on WPwatercooler.
