In reply to Aaron Davis.

Aaron, definitely throw a bucket of water on your smouldering imposter syndrome.

If you take a look at some of ALT's past conferences, you'll come to realize that they're one of the most kind and caring groups you'll probably find on the internet and are more interested in lived experiences than in high-end technical proficiency. This year they're partnering with Reclaim Hosing to add to some of the Domains portion of the discussion. Within that crowd you're miles ahead in both how you're using your website and what you're using it for.

I think that some of their content runs toward the HigherEd crowd in part because those people have the funding, support, and more time and bandwidth for it. We definitely need more people like you and John who are working with younger cohorts who need this as much if not more than the older.

If you're game for it, have the time, but are at a loss for ideas, I might recommend you consider an experiential talk about where you started out with your domain(s), what you've added to it, how you use it as a tool in your daily/weekly work, and the benefit you get out of it. You might also mention your favorite pieces and a bit about the technology that's running it. Mentioning the community spaces and locations where you've found help and support will provide people with some invaluable resources that might otherwise take them years to discover.

I think people hearing your story, particularly from someone who might not consider themself a programmer, and what you've been able to accomplish would be in incredibly powerful one that will help to empower others. This is exactly the sort of thing for which this conference exists.

John, apologies that I somehow managed to leave you off the ultimate list I published, but I think I had to rewrite the post and list out three different times for an odd saving-related quirk I've been having since I upgraded to WP 5.6 that's driving me crazy. I'm glad you managed to see it through Aaron's post, which as fate would have I missed the webmention notification from, but fortunately saw through your feed.
