Today, Joe A Simpson Jr joins the show to chat about all things WordPress. He shares his WordPress origin story, as well as how he became the leader of two Meetups. We also chat about his experience as a graphic designer stepping into WordPress for the first time, online events, and connecting with others in the community.

If you have questions about WordPress website development, contributing, or anything else web-related, send an email to [email protected]. You can also find us on Twitter @InTheLoop_WP.
