Jamie Smith is on our volunteer committee for WordCamp Fayetteville and has been a WordPress user for a couple of years. She recently wrote a blog entry for her freelance communications business about why she attends WordCamp and good reasons for others to use WordPress (and attend WordCamp).
Here’s an excerpt from the Jamie’s Notebook blog:
So why should someone who is not a programmer attend a technology conference like WordCamp? Because WordCamp … and WordPress… isn’t just for techie folk. That’s why I like it and promote its use to many different categories of people.
WordPress is one of those programs that can be comprehended by someone with basic computer skills. If you can figure out how to sign up for Facebook, you can figure out the basics of WordPress. But what’s interesting is, it doesn’t stop there. There’s an ever-increasing number of what I call proficiency layers…the deeper you get into WordPress, the more there is to learn. The more you can manipulate. The more you can develop. WordPress can be used for blogging, it can be used for websites. It can be used for personal, it can be used for business.
