Topic:\u00a0Customizing a theme in the browser<\/strong><\/p>\n

Susan is the owner of One Happy Studio, where she creates and customize themes, and develops custom websites using the Genesis Framework. Creating the website is just part of the story for Susan \u2013 she is somewhat obsessed with the process, and loves to help others by answering support questions for a number of theme developers including Pretty Darn Cute Design, and on the StudioPress community forums. Susan is honored to be a StudioPress recommended developer.<\/p>\n

How did you get involved in WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had a craft blog on Blogger which I migrated to WordPress in 2013. I got hooked on the ability to be able to customize my site myself, and from there, my love of WordPress began.<\/p>\n

What do you do with WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I create themes; I customize themes; I provide theme support for third party developers.<\/p>\n

What has your experience with the WordPress community been like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I work exclusively with the Genesis Framework; I’m very active in the Genesis community – I am an admin for the GenesisWP FB group; I’m a moderator on the StudioPress community forum; I write tutorials specific to themes built on the Genesis framework.<\/p>\n

Why did you want to speak at WordCamp DFW?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because I enjoy the opportunity to talk about WordPress, especially new users.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to speak on customizing themes in the browser?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was suggested to me by Marc Gratch.<\/p>\n

What do you hope the audience gets from your talk?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An enthusiasm for WordPress and the opportunities it presents.<\/p>\n

Tickets are now on sale<\/a>\u00a0for this year\u2019s WordCamp DFW held on Nov. 11-12. There are also plenty of opportunities to\u00a0sponsor the event<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0help run it<\/a>. We hope to see you there!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
