About
What is this site about?
This site was created so I could answer questions in a format that encourages interaction. I focus my topics on technology items that business owners encounter, IT consultants fix and website designers wonder about.
About Adria
I’ve been in the IT industry for 10 years and launched my own consulting company in 2006. I am an active supporter of open source and promote developers and their tools on social networks. I’m known online for helping people with their technology questions. I have my MCSA, MCDST and A+ certifications.
In April 2010, I moved to San Francisco, the world’s tech mecca. I’m loving it!
Empowering people through technology is my passion.
I’m a tree hugger, a pet owner and always have an ear available to help.
I’ve appeared on and been interviewed for:
- The Rachel Maddow Show
- The Associated Press
- ComputerWorld
- Minnesota Public Radio
- Star & Tribune
and various media outlets due to my citizen journalism on her tech blog.
Founded Freshworkshops in 2009. Offering live, hands-on training for WordPress, blogging strategy, SEO, Joomla, Social Media and website development.
When not working, I put in time to make the world a better place. I want to attend a TED conference to connect with other people who have big dreams.
Companies like 37signals have accomplished amazing things by discarding old ways of thinking. The GTD methods of David Allen and Lifehacker have strongly influenced Adria’s work style.
