Renee Dobbs is a self-proclaimed Domestic Goddess who loves to eat, drink, and dig in the dirt. She lives in the Metro Atlanta area with her husband and three very spoiled whippets. Renee started blogging to share and connect with the world. She loves both cooking and baking and is equally happy chopping vegetables as whipping frosting. Renee truly enjoys being in the kitchen and sharing her cooking adventures with a WordPress blog.

After attending her first WordCamp in Savannah, GA back in 2010, she was hooked! Su helps clients “up their game” online with WordPress websites.

Claudia Arkush

I have been a graphic designer since I was born a very long time ago. In the 1990’s I traded in my rapidograph and pica ruler for a computer and a program called Pagemaker. In this century I have a foot in the print world and a foot in the web world exclusively thru the wonderful world of WordPress .

Russell Fair

I’m a big fan of WordPress, use it every day both for business and for pleasure. When I’m not working, I enjoy teaching kids about computer science and making fun stuff.
