How do you use WordPress?
\n<\/span><\/h4>\nI use WordPress as a content management system (CMS) and I write custom
![\"Teri](\"https:\/\/2018.seattle.wordcamp.org\/files\/2018\/09\/teri-shelton-300x225.jpg\")
themes, child themes, plugins, and custom functionality for websites. WordPress makes content updates a breeze for me, my business partner who is not a coder, and our clients that choose to accept the challenge of managing their own content. Of course, I\u2019m a developer, I could write code all day. But time is precious and WordPress makes it so much easier to do really cool and complex things than if I were to hand-code a site. I\u2019ve been using WordPress for about 10 years so I\u2019ve learned many tricks!<\/span><\/li>\n- How did you end up involved in WordCamp?
\n<\/span>I attended my first WordCamp back in 2013 when it was at the UW and I\u2019ve been to each Seattle WordCamp since then. I was a help desk volunteer for the 2015 Beginner Edition WordCamp and that was my intro to behind the scenes work. Last year, I got pulled in to do the <\/span>website development for Camp<\/span><\/a> and then I spoke at Camp with my business partner. This year, I upgraded to co-lead organizer and I\u2019m overseeing the Marketing & Design Team. I\u2019m also on the leadership team for <\/span>WPSeattle<\/span><\/a>, which is the umbrella over WordCamp and Meetups in Seattle. Oh, and I co-founded and co-lead the WordPress Freelancer Meetup. I blame Sheila. It\u2019s all Sheila\u2019s fault. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/li>\n- What\u2019s your guilty pleasure\/hobby\/outside of work passion?<\/span>

My favorite things in the world right now are <\/span>@dog_rates<\/a>, <\/span>@dog_feelings<\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>Blue Apron<\/a>. If not working on a website, I\u2019m probably watching football or hockey, cooking or baking, traveling with my husband, or doting on our 2 cats, Cali and Kipper.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to get in touch with Teri:<\/h3>\n
