Follow Friday is a practice that got started on Twitter. Each Friday Twitizens will make recommendations of good people to follow. Well, I’m gonna take that one step farther. Rather than just drop a list of names, I want to give you a little background into my recommendations, hence the Follow Friday series! This week I’d like to introduce you to Tammy Hart, custom WordPress theme designer extraordinaire.

Tammy has been specializing in WordPress development for about three years. After doing static web design and development a new client asked her to translate a design into a WordPress theme. That request became a steady stream and it wasn’t long before the the utility of WordPress and all it is capable of doing became apparent. About a year ago, Tammy re-branded TammyHartDesigns.com and positioned herself as an “Expert WordPress Theme Designer.” After seeing some of her work and reading her posts, I’m sure you’ll agree… I know I have!

Tammy told me recently that the work that she does for MideastYouth.com is pretty special to her. She has been working with Esra’a Al Shafei for nearly three years, designing and developing sites for her. The sites are human rights sites and so far Tammy has done 10-12 projects with Esra’a. I’ve had the opportunity to hear Esra’a speak about the work she and others are doing, taking the power of blogging into parts of the world where freedom of speech isn’t always without its consequences. I’d encourage you to check out MideastYouth.com to see what some of our fellow bloggers around the world face each day.

A Parting Quote Please…

Fredom of speech used to only have so much power, because it lie in those that owned the press. With social media, anyone can now own that press, because it is free or affordable. it is helping us shape our world into a new and better one, one where the truth is known and able to survive. It also makes it easy for me to talk to my mom in Oklahoma.
