Perhaps we should start with introductions.

Hi. I’m Brian. I write here at WPCandy sometimes. Ryan was nice enough to call me “Contributing Editor”.

I’m a part time developer with a full time non-web-related job. I love WordPress and web development. I’m excited to get distracted by our discussions here.

I also have a great dane named Lucy May that may periodically present herself during WPCandy podcasts :)

Your turn.

Hi! I’m Pippin Williamson, or Mordauk in some places.

I’m a full time freelance WordPress developer. I run two difference websites, Pippin’s Pages and Pippin’s Plugins. The first is more of personal portfolio site, though it also contains a large number of WordPress related tutorials and tips. My plugins site is one of the only sites purely dedicated to WordPress plugin development. I publish daily tutorials, tips, free / premium plugins, and plugin reviews.

I am also a Code Canyon author.

I’m James Koster. I design and develop Jigoshop, a WordPress eCommerce plugin. I’m also a WooThemes honorary team member where I build app style themes with a good buddy of mine.

Basically I’m a frontend designer/developer (UX, UI designer, whatever you want to call it) focused on html/css/jquery who also has a burning passion for all things WordPress.

That’s it. Hi!

Hi. I’m Justin. I do a little bit of everything because I can never focus on a single thing for too long. About 90% of my freelance work is devoted to fixing problems with commercial WordPress themes. :)

I also have two cats, walk 30 minutes every morning, hit the weights four days a week, ride my bike a couple of times a week, read books, buy too many movies, occasionally try to learn Japanese, am a die-hard Auburn fan (War Eagle!), have four sisters and one brother, actually have an English degree despite my upbringing in smalltown Alabama, am currently a field marshal in Halo Reach, believe Firefly would’ve been the greatest TV series ever made if not for Fox, hate Fox for canceling too many great shows, drink more milk than anyone should drink, once failed the “milk challenge,” have a passionate love affair going on with hamburgers but have been trying to split amicably for years, have been completely in love with Jessica Alba since she starred in “Idle Hands,” am still in love with her even though she was in that horrible movie with Paul Walker that one time, would choose Jessica Alba over hamburgers but not without some hesitation, am not married (yes, I’m available, ladies), would be willing to part with hamburgers and forgo all hope of being with Jessica Alba if the right girl came along, believe Alan Turing was the greatest mind of the 1900s, think Ray Kurzweil is a smart guy but a little scary with his radical ideas sometimes, and some other stuff.

Hey,

My name is Syed, and I am the founder of WPBeginner. We also run a web design and development firm along with WPBeginner. Not to mention the WordPress Coupons site and a WordPress gallery.

Been working with WordPress since 2006. If you are at a WordCamp in U.S. then you will probably run across me. I love traveling. At a moment of me writing this, I’m in Prague, Czech Republic. Normally I can be found in the sunny beaches of Palm Beach, Florida.

I honestly think the forum is a great idea. I hope this can stay lively.

Hey guys!

My name is Eric Hamm and I’m the main guy behind the Catalyst Theme Framework which is the successor of my previous WordPress Theme, Frugal.

I spend my days in my little office space cranking out code, helping support our growing community of users and listening to Pandora. For the most part it’s awesome, but there’s the occasional moments where I long for a J-O-B, but then I quickly come to my senses.

I love WordPress and the huge potential that it offers to so many. And WPCandy is my favorite place to stay up on all the latest WP news and events. I’m actually the guy who won the Bracket part of the WPMadness contest (though I still haven’t received my trophy…hint…hint…Ryan ;)

I’m looking forward to popping in from time to time and like Syed mentioned, I hope this thing really takes off!

Eric

I’m Sarah, your basic geeky girl. I love WordPress, although I started out with Drupal. Still dabble a bit with Drupal Commons and Magento, but I’m mainly a WordPress person these days. I have my own company Untame.net which will be relaunching this month, and I also write a daily blog for WPMU.org.

I love writing about solutions and tools that help people build things. I hate politics. I spend most of my time learning things and building things and helping others do the same.

Currently I’m learning how to write WordPress plugins. I’m working my way through this book in hopes of fixing up my dinky BP plugins that I released before this book was available. ;) After that I want to write a couple of plugins that involve pretty things with modal windows, and that’s all I’m going to say for now. :)

I’m a huge fan of the BuddyPress plugin. The first beta was released on my birthday in 2008 and I hope to release a free theme for the platform before my birthday this year as a gift back for everything the BuddyPress community has been for me. I’m also working on a few child themes for some of the theme frameworks out there that I find to be really fun to play with.

I’ve never met anyone who I work with online. I hope to make it to a WordCamp sometime this year and have a few beers with folks I see online every day. :)

Hi, I’m Josh. I build websites. I came to WordPress because I needed an easy way for my clients to update their sites. I tried a few solutions (CushyCMS and even Drupal of all things) but decided on WordPress and have not looked back! If I’m not working on a project, I’m reading through my Instapaper or reeder. Or riding my bike.
