#WCEH

PAY IT FORWARD: the first step in my @wordpress.org journey was to attend Mary Baum’s Antelope Valley WordPress Meetup. Always empowering and encouraging, she is what today, Contributor Day at @wordcampcanada.bsky.social is all about.

MR. OCTOBER: This month is the busiest I've had during this new trip around the bases. Next week, I'll turn two, visiting Ottawa for @wordcampcanada.bsky.social to present, "Back on the Block: My Reasons for Returning to the Full Site Editor" and later sharing a topic at @wpaccessibility.day.

ADORE: If you made a decision not to use @wordpress.org Gutenberg/FSE since its introduction in 2018, you've missed out on a LOT.

Join me for "Back on the Block: My Reasons for Returning to the Full Site Editor" and find out what you've missed.

SPEAK ON IT: I'm so honored and excited to present, Back on the Block: My Reasons for Returning to the Full Site Editor, to the @wordpress.org community.

Get tickets, find out about @wordcampcanada.bsky.social sessions, and get tickets at canada.wordcamp.org/2025/tickets/

#FullSiteEditing #WCEH

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: Planners tend to think of #accessibility only in terms of the websites we build; failing to consider physical/virtual spaces we gather to storytell & create tomorrow’s @wordpress.org.

Join me for Make All WordPress Events Accessible, Oct 16 at 00:00 UTC.

#WPAD2025

MAKE THAT A DOUBLE: For early risers, we're hosting WordPress Santa Clarita Valley 'Meetup & Greet' at WordCamp US.

We're taking our standard morning @wordpress.org Meetup gathering on location in Portland, in Room B117 in the Oregon Convention Center.

#WCUS

STOP & SMELL THE ROSES: Excited to attend WordCamp US in Portland next week for several reasons, incl. being the 2nd time in 12 years that I haven't been a volunteer, organizer, or speaker at a WordCamp since my first WCLAX (2013).

Contributor/Showcase Day, A11y, AI, UX, and FSE...what about you?

POP LIFE: Incredibly honored & excited to present to the @wordpress.org community at @wordcampcanada.bsky.social !

Growing up across the river in Detroit with Windsor in view, I'd watch the Red Wings on Hockey Night, see the Canadian Club sign (and drinking ginger ale), its like home.

#WordPress

I GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN: AWESOME event last weekend! Support & engagement w/the audience, hallway track convos, friends, and opportunity to Learn @wordpress.org were SO special.

Whether you're from Hoboken or Montclair, have brown or old blue eyes, @wcmontclair.bsky.social was one for the ages!

SAME TIME, NEXT YEAR: Thank you to the team of @mauteri.bsky.social , Howard Spaeth, Caleb Matteis, and all the Organizers, Volunteers, Sponsors, and Attendees who made @wcmontclair.bsky.social a welcoming, nurturing, and inspiring experience.
