    • “ The presentation on Wordpress by Kevin Leary was a very good introduction to the benefits of using the Wordpress platform. Interaction with the audience was a big plus. It gave some of the attendees who are very knowledgeable the chance to contribute and added information that was very useful. Kevin did a great job in keeping the interest level of the audience. It was well worth being there. Great crowd of people. ”
    • “ Good presenter, seemed very knowledgeable. Would have liked it if there were less questions & discussion dragging the presentation off topic, since he didn't even get through all the slides & info before time ran out. ”
    • “ This was my first meetup. Good presentation, good questions, good people. I will definitely return. ”
    • “ I got a lot of value out of the meeting. Kevin is a great presenter and amazingly knowledgeable. The content may be a bit more technical than I want as a marketer but I'm so new at Blogging that any tips are helpful. The interactivity during the presentation was terrific...I think that style leads to more learning and keeps the presentation focused on what matters to the audience. All around a "10" ”
    • “ was a great meet, the speaker was well informed and handled the lack of microphone like a champ.... ”
    • “ The meetup was great. Congratulations to James Coletti and the speaker! James Mitchell ”
    • “ Kevin was knowledgeable and shared some great resources which is very helpful. The group members contributed comments throughout the presentation bringing added perspective. Friendly group ”
    • “ Wonderful accommodations, knowledgeable presenter, friendly attendees. The "soup to nuts" presentation agenda was a bit ambitious - ran out of time before getting to the topic of most interest to me (WordPress as CMS). In hindsight, we should have pushed for a more "punctual" presentation start. I can appreciate the intention to maximize the audience draw with the broad agenda, though... and the organizer's intent to see what kind of WordPress interest is in this (Boston) area. I am glad I attended. Looking forward to next meeting's tentative topic - "WordPress Plugins". Thanks, James (or is it Jim?) and thanks to Kevin (presenter) ”
    • “ This was my first time. It was very useful. I look forward to other meetings. ”
