2013: A Big Year for (mt) and WordPress
At the end of 2012, (mt) Media Temple made a significant investment in our WordPress involvement in hiring Suzette Franck as our WordPress evangelist. The evangelist role means many things to many people. To us it means making sure we’re teaching and implementing WordPress best practices on the support floor, and in the engineering and product departments here at (mt). It also means generating dedicated instructive resources for the WordPress Community. It’s safe to say 2013 was the biggest year for (mt) in the WordPress community thus far!
