Caro Griffin Interview

Caro Griffin
Caro Griffin is speaking on The Other User’s Experience at WordCamp Minneapolis.

What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?

I found that most of my clients had the same questions—and I was spending a lot of time answering the same things. I initially accepted that as part of the process, until I started teaching an online course about WordPress development. We’re constantly improving our curriculum by identifying frequently asked questions and then re-writing lessons or creating new ones to address those questions. I realized I could do the same thing with clients and, over time, have iterated on both my design process and client education workflow to better serve my clients. As a result, they’re happier with their websites and I’m happier spending slightly less time in my inbox. 🙂

If you were a WordPress Plugin, what Plugin would you be and why?

Definitely a super sweet editorial calendar plugin. I color code, label, and otherwise organize anything and everything I come across.

What professional and/or research resource(s) can’t you live without?

I love Post Status because it’s a great resource for passive learning. I don’t have to go looking for the latest news, it’s just delivered to my inbox in a really easy to read format. It’s turned my inbox into a great resource that I often search when I’ve hit a roadblock.

About skarjune

Skarjune was a former contributor on the Make WordPress.org Marketing team, WordPress.org,Training Team, and WordCamp Minneapolis—St.Paul organizing team. Skarjune resigned as Contributor in 2019 after disagreeing one-to-one with both Matt Mullenweg and Joost de Valk over their takeover of the Communications Team without consulting team members. Some members left in addition to the former Leader cast aside, and work by the Communications and Training team was discarded by new leaders . Hopefully, new real Governance will replace Automattic at WordPress.og, which is not WordPress.com. Commercial Corporations should respect Open Source GPL.
