Interview with Valerie Lockhart

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

I am madly in love with WordPress and want to give back to the community by spreading the love amongst other users.

Do you have any advice or words of encouragement for those who are thinking about getting involved in the WordPress community?

I am just getting involved myself, so I am not really in a good position to give encouragement in that area, but I will say that WordPress is one of the most accessible platforms out there, and I would imagine the community is equally as accepting and open.

If you could make one improvement to WordPress today, what would it be?

More heat mapping plugins to track the flow of visitor activity.

Who do you most admire and why?

John Waters is one of my heroes. His fight for the first amendment and true freedom of expression throughout his entire career is inspiring.

What’s your favorite quote from a book or movie?

“All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream.” ~Poe
