WordPress 網站帶路姬提供輕鬆的 WordPress 新手教學與資源，其中超人氣的五天自學衝刺班，陪伴無數新手們完成第一個 WordPress 網站。

帶路姬為什麼要做五天自學衝刺班？因為我一直覺得，網路上大部分的教學都比較零散，新手們常常像無頭蒼蠅一樣到處學一點，導致有頭沒尾、或者銜接有問題就卡關放棄，這真的非常可惜。所以，我就想發揮我使用者介面設計的專長，來製作一套系統化的教學，帶著大家用很短的時間以及長期來說較省錢的方式，做出第一個 WordPress 網站！

什麼是五天自學衝刺班？他是一套免學費的線上教學，分成三個系列：媒體部落格篇、形象官網篇、型錄購物篇，只要每天利用下班後的一個小時跟著影片操作，五天後就可以做好一個 WordPress 網站囉，而且還可以加入帶路姬的臉書社團，與學長姐一起交流共學！

小聚真的是一個臥虎藏龍的地方，在這邊可以看到很多不同領域的專業人士在運用WordPress各自發光。我記得之前偶爾會去參加英文小聚，在那邊就時常會遇到外國部落客在台灣，運用WordPress的工具有時候甚至比開發者更專業。或是在台北小聚會遇到台灣各行各業的人士，例如努力在推廣本地化繁體中文WordPress的Alex，或是努力運用WordPress打造自己事業的創業家，真的是非常精彩。

I really enjoy joining WordPress meetups, where we can meet people from different areas of expertise utilizing WordPress and creating great works. For example when I attended the english meetups in Taipei, I was always able to meet content creators from foreign countries living in Taiwan using WordPress to their fullest and even more productive than developers, or in the Taipei meetups, where there was Alex, who is an absolute expert on localizing WordPress for traditional chinese users, and even the numerous business owners, entrepreneurs creating their businesses.

我們長期經營WordPress相關技術的變化型應用，無論是跟外部系統的API整合，或是客製化的插件工具去滿足比較不常見的功能需求，這些都陸陸續續成為我們的特色，對於我們來說，WordPress網站是一個很強的武器，而不是限制。是一個基礎基地而不是一個天花板。如果有需要一些客製化規劃，想要整合或改版WordPress網站，都可以跟我們討論。

We are very familiar with WordPress development beyond the standards, jobs like interactions with outside systems with APIs or dynamic usages, even creating custom plugins for more uncommon functions outside the plugin lists.

WordPress for us is not a barrier with restrictions but a strong tool to go beyond. For us, it is a base structure for developments and utilizations. So if you need customizations or planning consulting for a good site, feel free to contact.

你是否有因為 WordPress 而使公司業務更上一層樓？
Have you taken your company’s business to the next level because of WordPress?

我們從早期一行一行Code製作到後來接觸WordPress CMS到全面改到其他CMS，最後還是回到了這個WordPress Community 發展，最主要就是業務開發的延展性跟速度，減少了很多基礎的重工製作，而是可以多花時間在真的客戶在乎的事情上面，同時也因為運用這樣有彈性的CMS，對於客戶善變的需求來說更是助力，也會帶來更多滿意的客戶。

We started out with one line of code at a time to implement WordPress to our work process and then went on shifting to another CMS, but be still ended up coming back to this WordPress community because of the rich environment and atmosphere along side the speed it brought our development process and dynamic personality of the system. At the same time saving the time needed for the basic page structures and which we were able to focus more on what really matters, bringing us happy clients.

對於 WordPress 在台灣的發展有什麼期許？
What are your expectations for the development of WordPress in Taiwan?

期待台灣可以更多企業導入WordPress在他們的系統選擇。主要是這個社群不斷擴展開來，開發者也好設計師也好，不用侷限在接案，而是可以更帶入公司內部的專業技術運用，這樣更可以讓公司的系統延展跟進化。

Hopefully more and more entities can bring WordPress to their developing utilities, therefore with the growing community, more developers and designers can bring their expertise into companies and grow the systems and evolve without always starting learning some new language or system, with a fast learning path.

請闡述你心中的「開源精神」。
What’s your definition of “open-source spirit”?

開源精神對我來說某一個部分是不擔心這種開源成為你造就的競爭對手，而是開源可以透過這個技術的進化帶來更多的市佔率以及廣泛認識。因為開源所以可以自由開發可以自由學習，然後因為人的特性要更好更方便的應用，這時候更能夠變成一個更有趣更有無限想像的精神。

The open-source spirit is to not be afraid that growing the community will bring more competitors but through the evolution of the tools it can become broadly known throughout the world and market share. Due to the freedom of creativity and learning, and also due to the human nature of improving, providing the open-source spirit to be an interesting and exciting community.

免費資源網路社群提供科技新知、免費軟體、線上工具、圖庫素材、WordPress 架站及應用程式介紹教學。

1. 你目前執行的業務與 WordPress 的關聯性為何？

免費資源網路社群從 2006 年開站後很快就使用 WordPress 做為網站架構，一來是因為 WordPress 速度快、安全性極佳，二來擁有相當龐大的外掛、佈景主題和教學資源，可以提供網站很好的後援，在搜尋引擎最佳化表現上也能脫穎而出，整體來說，如果沒有非常足夠的資源，WordPress 會是自架站或是中小型網站最合適的解決方案。

2. 什麼樣的契機讓你想要贊助 WordCamp Taiwan 呢？

曾經是 WordPress 主程式的翻譯人員，也因為 WordPress 有了現在的工作，當年因為台灣沒有 WordCamp 活動而萌生「如果未來台灣有 WordPress 相關活動就要全力幫忙」的念頭，或許是一種飲水思源、吃果子拜樹頭的想法，如果能力許可就會想為台灣的 WordPress 社群多盡一分心力。

3. 你是否參與過其他 WordPress 相關活動 ，是否可以與我們分享活動體驗或有趣發現？

幾年前參加過新加坡的 WordCamp，對於在活動上可以認識來自不同國家的使用者感到很新奇且雀躍，有了交流後才發現不同國家地區的使用者在選擇 WordPress 服務時也有差異，考量的面向不一定相同，這些都比較難在單一地區發現。

雖然目前因為新冠肺炎疫情無法出國，希望透過線上方式也能認識不同地區的 WordPress 使用者，看看大家都使用相同的 WordPress 做些什麼不同的事，互相交流網站相關經驗，就是 WordCamp 大會最珍貴的部分。

4. 你是否有因為 WordPress 而使公司業務更上一層樓？

誠如前面所述，免費資源網路社群一開始就是使用自架站 WordPress，對於成長方面可能不如有轉換過平台經驗的網站來得明顯，不過陸續加入一些官方功能後，確實有覺得網站變得更為快速、穩定且可靠。

舉例來說，在啟用 Jetpack 後就將一些同功能外掛移除，改由從 Jetpack 獲得，不但更快、更穩定，也減少在維護管理的時間；官方提供的的備份服務 VaultPress 也讓我可以即時、隨時隨地將網站內容完整備份到遠端伺服器，即使要主機搬家，也能很輕鬆從第三方將資料匯入，不會影響到主網站運作。

因為是 Automattic 官方維護的外掛功能和服務，較不用擔心有安全性問題或安全漏洞出現，而且也有一群人不斷在更新、改善及最佳化，集思廣益的結果一定會比個人更安全可靠。

5. 對於 WordPress 在台灣的發展有什麼期許？

早期 WordPress 中文資源較少，大多數都要搜尋國外的英文內容，不過隨著使用者越來越多，也有很多台灣公司都是接 WordPress 相關案件，現在可以找到的中文教學也很豐富，而且可能更符合台灣使用者的使用情境（目前也有不少以 WordPress 相關教學為主的網站）。

在社群部分，WordPress Taiwan 臉書社團已經成為正體中文交流者最多的平台，大多數朋友會想在上面解決自己遇到的問題，也有一些使用者會在上面分享經驗，讓其他網站主參考，或有助於減少各種嘗試的時間。

期許有更多志願者願意投入正體中文化的工作，隨手將自己喜歡或熟悉、經常使用的佈景主題或外掛功能翻譯一下，就能讓其他中文使用者在使用上更方便。
