    Bio

    Creator of Event Calendar Newsletter and The Events Calendar Shortcode plugins, and courses Plugins for Beginners and Selling Plugins. Former WordCamp Hamilton organizer.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I actually got to know Mike Little while I was living in the UK, but still didn’t make the leap to WordPress. I thought I could “do better” creating custom platforms and while they were moulded to the job, I then needed to maintain a lot of things that weren’t value-adds to the project.

    Since taking a consulting job to move a Joomla extension over to WordPress, I haven’t looked back.
