Congratulations to Darfuria, our first Expert to win over $100
Congratulations to Darfuria who just became our first Expert to win over $100! We hope within the next few months we’ll be offering congratulations to the first Expert to earn over $1,000.
WPQ is a true partnership—in the eyes of our customers, it is only as good as the Experts who answer the questions here. [...]
How to Ask a Question on WP Questions
For new users, we wanted to put up a brief tutorial on the process of asking a new question and making payment arrangements through PayPal.

It felt especially tricky to launch this project within a development community like WordPress where issues like premium themes and GPL [...]
A clarification about PayPal accounts
