Ask Otto Anything

I know pretty much everything there is to know about WordPress. What I don’t know is what other people want or even need to know. I’m continually looking for ideas in that respect. But the one thing I do know that people want is support. I’ve been doing support ever since I started off in the WordPress forums a little under 7 years ago. Answering random questions by random people is my own little hobby. So when I don’t have a topic-to-hand, I do random Q&A time.     My “Ask Otto Anything” session is where I tell people who I am, what I do, and basically challenge them to stump me. I’ll answer any question, and if I don’t know the answer, then I’m more than happy to pull the core code up right there and then and show you the audience how to figure out the answer to the question. Sometimes this results in a user-audience, with general support questions or “what’s the best plugin for X” questions, but sometimes when the audience is dev-heavy then it can get into serious coding depth, which is always fun. In any case, by the end, I know what people asked, which is my real goal. The people who ask questions get answers. I get to know what people don’t know much about. Everybody wins. 🙂
