• Thank you Matt and WordPress

    I want to thank WordPress for the nice gift for my participation in WordPress release 6.4 as Design Co-Lead. I had a great experience working together with amazing designers like  Ellen Bauer, Allison Tarr, Ana Cirujano, Cathi Bosco, Sonia Gaballa, and Ohia. Thank you Matt for being so thoughtful and recognizing the work of contributors. The record hangs nicely on…

  • WordCamp Madrid 2025

    Attended my first WordCamp this year. Why Madrid? Well, I have personal interest but that’s a conversation for another day. What I loved about WC Madrid? Seeing people I know, sharing time and conversations with old friends and meeting new people will always be the thing I love most about WordCamps. Talking to sponsors about…

  • Blogging in the year of 2025

    I’m not much of a blogger, but I want to change that—not because I have to or because something is pushing me, but simply because I want to write more. This year, I will explore blogging in different ways. Choosing a topic to blog about isn’t easy. Some days, I feel like I do too…

  • My contribution to WordPress in 2024

    I don’t always write posts about goals because I like to keep them private. This year, I would love to increase my contribution to the WordPress project to 20 hrs. per week. And these would only be possible if I manage to find sponsorship. Since the amount of time is short, my focus is going…

  • Gracias Jose Luis

    No fue mucho el tiempo que pasamos juntos. Y es mas, la última vez que nos vimos en Torrelodones, no te acordaste de mi. Pero no importa eso, porque te fuiste y me dejaste los recuerdos. Nos conocimos en la WordCamp Europe en Berlín. Ufff, cuantas aventuras pasamos en esa WordCamp. Me encantó conocerte, cuando…

  • My first website using WordPress

    This post is day 2 of the FromBlogsToBlocks campaign, celebrating WordPress 20th anniversary. In 2006, I started my first online business as a virtual assistant. The same year, I built my first website ever. Hello Fireworks buttons and clipart!! And the font…. hmmm. I think the funniest part of this story was my call with GoDaddy…

  • The joy of being an organizer for WCEU 2023

    How it started Can’t remember exactly, but it was around September 2022 that I was invited to be lead for the community team at WCEU 2023. The bad habit of not saying no, I immediately got all excited, jumped up and down and said yes. I went in like a deer caught in headlights, had…

  • WordCamp Barcelona

    WordCamp Barcelona

    The most important reason why I attended WordCamp Barcelona is to continue with the WordPress.org documentation translation project. As expressed before, we are working with the Spanish community for our trial. The reasons are plenty, they do have a lot of documentation translated, they are near by me – thus cutting down traveling costs, and…

  • My experience at WordCamp Torrelodones

    My experience at WordCamp Torrelodones

    There is something about the WordPress Spanish community that makes everything more fun and exciting. As I made my way to WordCamp Torrelodones, another participant was looking to share a Cabify (Spain’s version of Uber.) We shared a chat group with lots of jokes about the weather and luggage. Probably what surprised me most was…

  • My WordPress Story

    My WordPress Story

    20 years ago, WordPress found its way into this world and I have been working with it almost from the beginning. Well, 3 years after the first version launched and then again 5 years later. It was 2003 when I moved back to the US. After a divorce and a child in my arms, I…
