  • Using WordPress to create social change

    WordCamp Edinburgh 2017Speaker: Bridget Hamilton

    April 7, 2019 — The Verbal Remedy website has WordPress at its heart. With up to 50 blog post submissions per month on everything from feminism to sexual health, we need a theme that gives our words the impact they deserve and a dashboard that means we can create posts effectively as a remote editorial team.

    As Verbal Remedy’s founder I’ve watched the platform grow over the past four years from a tiny Tumblr site to a fully integrated WordPress creation with a strong presence in the North East of England. I’d love to be able to share what I’ve learnt along the way.

    I’ll talk about:
    – Why we chose WordPress for our website
    – How starting a blog can create social change
    – How to handle tough issues when blogging
    – How your blog can create a buzz offline, too
