[theme-reviewers] Introduction

Wed Jun 9 21:23:34 UTC 2010

Hey everyone, my name is Andrew Norcross (although I usually just go by
Norcross). I am relatively new to WP (about a year or so) but come from a
design and server admin background. I deal mainly with sites for businesses
and some plugins. Links are in the footer. So hello!

Hello everyone, my name is Brianna Privett, I've been using WordPress since
2005 when, like Joseph, I got tired of writing a new CMS for each project I
was doing and decided to do a couple of months of R&D to find open source
blog software that was easily pluggable and could be used to manage websites
for artists and creatives. WordPress won hands down, and I've been using it
ever since.

I work with designers who provide layouts and build plugins and themes to
bring their visions to life. My personal site is http://brianna.org and my
business site is http://utopian.net. My plugin focus is generally for
customizing the gallery or extending MU, and most of my time spent with
clients is to educate them and get familiar with their individual workflow
to make WordPress as easy for them as it is for me.

I'm Chip Bennett. I've been using WordPress since 2005, switching to
self-hosted WordPress from Blogger. I used a heavily customized Blogger
theme, so I started right away learning how to port my theme to WordPress,
and how to use WordPress template tags.

So, I've had my nose in WordPress themes for about five years now.
(Coincidentally, most of the PHP I know, I learned because of WordPress.)
Since then, I have ventured a bit into plugins - though I have much, much
to learn. I may not be able to write terribly complex plugins, but I
figure I should be able to help out reviewing theme code. Maybe it will
give me incentive finally to add a theme or two to the repo!

WordPress is very much a passion and a hobby, though it isn't my day job.
My personal website is www.chipbennett.net, which I use both for
quite-varied blogging and as a WordPress sandbox.

Looking forward to helping out, and to working with y'all!

Hi, I'm Chris Everson and have, like Joseph, been using WordPress since
2004. I have actually created my own CMS, but never publicly released it,
because like many attempts out there, there is always something that doesn't
better, and taking on the likes of WordPress was not something I was up to
when it came time to fit it for a public release. I am currently a partner
and director of web services for a relatively new marketing firm in Houston
and am a member of the planning committee for the upcoming first ever
WordCamp Houston. Aside for the standard design and development greatness, I
spend my time golfing, collecting records and recording music. It's
wonderful to e-meet you all!

Hi, I'm Kailey Lampert
I've only been playing around with WordPress for about 2 years. I'm not much
of a designer, but I do love code - and I'm always interested to see what I
can learn from somebody else's handiwork. Hopefully I'll be able to use what
I've learned so far and be able to give back to the community.
Several years ago, I put some effort into writing my own little blogging
platform, but once I learned about WordPress - I never looked back.
I've written a handful of dinky plugins, and I've created numerous themes
for clients through my job (admittedly, not all of the greatest quality...).
