The East Bay WP Meetup had a party in honor of #wp15, the 15th Anniversary of the launch of WordPress. In addition to the cake, balloons, and stickers, we grouped together to improve our meetup space by adding felt pads to the feet of the heavy metal chairs in the cafeteria.
During our lively Q & A, we talked about backups, security, editorial workflow, memberships, the Genesis theme framework, and the Underpants Gnomes’ three-step profit plan.
