Last week, we ran a successful giveaway and fundraiser to celebrate WPBeginner’s 5th birthday and help build 2 schools in Guatemala through Pencils of Promise charity. This would not be possible without our Platinum sponsors who donated $5000 towards the campaign. I want to highlight each of them by interviewing them about their business. In this interview, we have Reneta Tsankova, COO of SiteGround web hosting. Reneta and I first met a year or so ago at a conference. We had a formal meal and soon after exchanged several emails. Later we started hanging out at different WordCamps and industry events. What I loved about Reneta and SiteGround is their motivation and dedication to improving their platform and serving their customers. I have personally tested their customer service (anonymously) for quality assurance, and I had one of the best live chat experiences. When I publicly announced the giveaway, Siteground quickly stepped up to support the cause. I have had tons of … [Read more...] about Interview with Reneta Tsankova from SiteGround

You’ve probably heard that WordPress is open-source software, and may know that it’s created and run by volunteers. WordPress enthusiasts share many examples of how WordPress changed people’s lives for the better. This monthly series shares some of those lesser-known, amazing stories. Meet Kim Parsell We’d like to introduce you to Kim Parsell. Kim was an active and well-loved member of the WordPress community. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2015. Lovingly referred to as #wpmom, she leaves behind a legacy of service. How Kim became #wpmom In order to understand how highly valued the WordPress community was to Kim Parsell, you have to know a bit about her environment. Kim was a middle-aged woman who lived off a dirt road, on top of a hill, in Southern rural Ohio. She was often by herself, taking care of the property with only a few neighbors up and down the road. She received internet access from towers that broadcast wireless signals, similar to cell phones but at … [Read more...] about People of WordPress: Kim Parsell

It’s been summer for about a week now. Whether you’re on vacation or burning the midnight oil, attending a local/nearby WordCamp is a great way to spend a weekend. Meet other WordPress users, developers, designers & consultants, learn a little something, maybe share a little of your own experience and knowledge, and break bread (or raise a toast) with new friends and collaborators. Here are the WordCamps scheduled for this summer, along with what I know about them. July 3: WordCamp Germany – Berlin, Germany. I love it that they’re using BuddyPress for their event site. They have multiple tracks, and what looks to be a nice variety of sessions. It’s only a few days away, so if you’re thinking of going, get your tickets now! July 10: WordCamp Boulder – Boulder, Colorado, USA. This was WordCamp Denver last year, but the organizers have decided to mix it up and go back and forth between Denver and Boulder, which also has a thriving tech community. This year the venue is the … [Read more...] about Summer of WordCamp
