Speaker Spotlight: Michael McNeill

Michael McNeillIs your WordPress site secure?  Learn about the ins and outs of WordPress security when you attend Michael McNeill’s session WordPress Security: No Nonsense Edition. “The focus will be on web security and WordPress and how they work with and against each other on the internet. WordPress security is a growing problem and this information can’t get into the hands of users fast enough.”, Michael said.

Michael is the owner of Connected Site Solutions, works for Digital Strategy Solutions, and is a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “My favorite WordPress features are the tiny things that make WordPress so user friendly, from both the developer and user standpoint.” he recently explained. “As a developer if I build a plugin, I don’t have to worry about validation, since WordPress takes care of it for you. And as a user, if I want to write a blog post from the WYSIWYG editor, I can select the distraction free editor and write away, with much less clutter than the normal edit post page.”

Michael feels that WordPress Security is an extremely important topic that many developers and users pass over in their normal routines. “My session will detail the best practices for securing WordPress and the risks of not doing so.”
