a WordCamp Montréal 2012 talk delivered six weeks before the recorded Toronto version, framed around the operational side of running a newspaper on WordPress — newspaper and magazine concepts, starter themes, advertising integration, and plugin recommendations for publications of any size.

Where and when

Watch or read

This Montréal session was not recorded. The sister talk delivered six weeks later at WordCamp Toronto 2012 was recorded — watch that recording for the closest available capture of the speaker’s argument from this period.

a 63-slide deck titled “Newspapers with WordPress” is published on SlideShare and aligns with the operational framing of the Montréal abstract (multisite, SEO for images, author branding, custom post types). The Toronto recording is the spoken-word version; the SlideShare deck is the slide-level archive of the same body of work.

The premise

From the published WordCamp Montréal 2012 talks listing:

“a complete overview of creating a newspaper website using WordPress. This presentation will cover common newspaper, and magazine concepts, starter themes, advertising integration, helpful shipped and solutions for newspapers from startups to national publications.”

I've been the person event organizers call when they want someone who's actually doing the work, not just speaking about it. Twenty-two years building, a few hundred talks across WordCamps, conferences, and client teams — the talks come from real delivery, not from last year's slide deck.

  • Nineteen years building with WordPress; twenty-two delivering the underlying web work.
  • Talks at WordCamps and conferences across the publishing, education, and public-sector arc.
