Description TBA Speaker: Kane Kennedy Speaker Bio: TBA Automating WordPress and Social Networks with IFTTT Writing a post is good. Getting it in front of an audience requires some effort. Fortunately, there is a free online service called If This Then That (IFTTT) which allows you to automate social sharing of your posts with their easy to use "recipes".
