Returning speaker, Bill Bennett joins us this month with a talk titled: Indieweb - why you should take more control of your online presence and how to use WordPress to do it.
What you post online should belong to you, not a corporation. That corporation can close shop or change its rules tomorrow: you may not be able to get at your own data.
The IndieWeb is all about you keeping control over your posts and data. Think of it as a declaration of independence. It means you get to choose who can see your material where and when. It is about building a presence that big business interests can't take away.
WordPress is an ideal tool for building an Indieweb presence. And the Indieweb is a great way to get more from a WordPress site.
