Tell us your WordPress stories in 2018

So how do you communicate to such a wide audience? Well lately Siobhan has been off recording videos of the WordPress community on a completely separate project and has learned more about the people she thought she knew.

You have the power to inspire people. We’d love to help give you a platform to tell your WordPress story and maybe we’ll learn something in the process too. So please let us know if you would like to share your WordPress story at one of our meet ups. If all goes well we may feature a short show and tell night next year 🙂
