I have written 24 plugins, which have been downloaded 1,951,821 times.
Plugins are where I put pieces of functionality other WordPress users might also find useful. Whether it’s the ability to easily view all the images attached to the current post or a simple shortcode for generating dynamic listings of content, these are all things I’ve developed for clients and released publicly.
By releasing them as plugins, I can easily reuse them on future projects, add bug fixes and enhancements which the client can easily apply (click “Update Plugin”), and receive help on those fixes and enhancements from the community.
I have spoken at 14 WordPress events.
I’ve spoken at many WordCamps, WordUps, and WordPress Meetups about both technical and business topics.

I have shared 397 code snippets.
These are even more developer-focused than tutorials. This is my growing collection of snippets, most with only a line or two of description. If something isn’t large enough for a tutorial or I just want to find a piece of code again in the future, this is where I put it.
