Chris Reynolds (@jazzs3quence) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I am a Developer Advocate at Pantheon and have been working with WordPress since my first foray as a freelance web designer and developer specializing in 2007. Since then, I’ve worked with Event Espresso, WebDevStudios, Human Made and Altis and I wrote of a bunch of WordPress-centric online training courses for Pluralsight. When I’m not writing code (or, these days, blog posts, GitHub actions, or videos), I run and play Dungeons & Dragons, occasionally make electronic music and cheer for Utah Royals FC.

Interests

WordPress, music, role playing, plugin development, theme development, podcasting, technology, design, not necessarily in that order.

WordPress Origin Story

I blogged when blogging was called a “weblog” and it was all just html. After the birth of my son in 2005, I was looking for a way to share photos with family and needed something so I wasn’t manually creating HTML posts with a bunch of pictures. I started with a blogging platform I found on Hotscripts.com called sBlog, but was disappointed and discouraged by the lack of active development and bugfixes. WordPress seemed to be what the cool kids were using, so I tried it and haven’t looked back since.
