Attendee’s introductions – an example
Attendees introductions are optional. If you do tell us about yourself then we’ll get a better understanding of your WordPress knowledge and how you use it. Here’s what I might say.
I’m Herb Miller, the initiating organiser of WP-Pompey. I started using WordPress about 11 years ago. I’m a (retired) software engineer. I mostly develop WordPress plugins. Recently I’ve become very interested in the Gutenberg block editor’s work on Full Site Editing, which is still very much under construction. I’ve developed three experimental FSE themes. Fizzie and SB are used to display the contents of online catalogues. The 3rd is “ThisIs…”
I live in Rowlands Castle with my wife Susan and two cats, Bramble and Marmalade and three white bears, Fuzzy Duck, Ducky Fuzz and the other one.
