Beneath the colorfully tattooed skin and lanky frame beats the heart of a competitor, a guy whose eclectic background as code geek, athlete and punk-scene lifer has coalesced into a fiercely creative, independent and energetic methodology. He knows the languages. He’s a digital alchemist; Norcross has thought of the things the clients haven’t, because – all together now – that’s his job.
Andrew will be giving a presentation in the Designer track titled: Polishing the WordPress Admin
What are you speaking about at WordCamp Philly?
My topic is on customizing the admin panel, or “White Labeling WordPress”. I plan on going through various hooks, functions, etc that can be used to give clients a personalized experience. While there are plenty of plugins out there that do some or all of this, I want to show how easy it can be to go the extra mile and give each site it’s own look and feel on the back end as well as the front.
What is your favorite thing about the city of Philadelphia?
I have no idea….because I’ve never been. But I’m a fan of the sandwiches. BIG fan.
Why do you love WordPress?
What’s not to love? It does everything I need it to and more.
