See You at WordCamp US!

I’m going to be at WordCamp US this year. This conference is well-timed because I’m starting to think about finding freelance work for the upcoming Winter season. I haven’t seen anyone in-person in WordPress since 2019! I can’t wait to see y’all!

Let’s Go Back To Commenting on Blogs

I think we should comment on blog posts first, and only reply on social media if there isn’t a better option. I invite you to do the same!
