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…

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
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
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…

30-day click publish challenge
And I raised my hand again and joined this 30-day click publish challenge. That terrible habit of mine to saying yes to everything. But I think this is going to be a good thing. I need to publish more, my blog needs a lot of loving. The last time I published something, the days were…

Is my small contribution too small for WordPress’ Five for the Future?
Five for the future is being discussed but there is no guide for contributors who can only give a small amount of hours per week or month. These are my suggestions.
