<\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about yourself<\/h3>\n

I am an Internet Entrepreneur and Technology enthusiast. I manage Web4Africa and blog regularly at www.davidajao.com\/blog\/<\/p>\n

Why WordPress?<\/h3>\n

I use WordPress for my blogs and other websites because it is the best blogging platform and content management system.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on the WordPress community as a whole? And the South African WP community?<\/h3>\n

The selfless and hard-working WordPress community is the power behind WordPress. The community is solid proof to how far free\/open-source software can take humankind. It is a testimony to the power of ubuntu philosophy.<\/p>\n

Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Cape Town?<\/h3>\n

I have always wanted to give back to the WordPress community. The WordCamp Cape Town 2011 presents a golden opportunity for me to share my experience with using WordPress.<\/p>\n

What is your talk going to be about?<\/h3>\n

My talk is going to focus on how one can maximise the use of WordPress for publishing multimedia without necessarily having to rely on plugins.<\/p>\n

What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Cape Town?<\/h3>\n

I look forward to networking with like-minded people.<\/p>\n

What is the one thing you want people to walk away with from your talk?<\/h3>\n

WordPress is more powerful than many realise.<\/p>\n

What is your favourite WordPress theme and\/or plugin, and why?<\/h3>\n

Google XML Sitemaps (plugin). It is very useful for automatically submitting new page\/post links to the leading search engines.<\/p>\n

Share one WP tip<\/h3>\n

Always make use of trackbacks, where possible. The backlinks are worth the time.<\/p>\n

Who in the WordPress community inspires you? Who do yo u follow?<\/h3>\n

Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net<\/p>\n

What is the most exciting feature\/addition\/improvement to WordPress that you have noticed in the last year?<\/h3>\n

WordPress for BlackBerry<\/p>\n

Where do you see WordPress 2 years from now?<\/h3>\n

It would overtake its immediate competition as the platform of choice for blogging and content management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
