Thomas Maier (@webzunft) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I am a publisher and WordPress developer specialized in plugin development. You might know me as the original founder of the largest word game website in Germany, the ad management plugin Advanced Ads, and Image Source Control, which helps manage image attributions and delete unused images.

Interests

Learning, Meeting People, Juggling, Hiking, Reading.

WordPress Origin Story

I searched for a flexible CMS that was easy to use, had great documentation, and had an active community. I found all this in WordPress in 2010. Since 2012, I am active in the community, visiting and speaking at events and occasionally help out where needed.
