I’ve been writing, just not on THIS blog! I was invited to write articles for TorqueMag.io and have written several over the past few months. I’ve also been busy with other projects, and my grandchildren, and this blog has taken a backseat.

First, I’ll provide links to the articles I have written. They may prove useful to you, they may not, and if nothing else will provide me with a concise summary of my work!

Updating Client Sites to WordPress 3.6 – A bit dated now, since we are on 3.9, but it is what it is.

Widget UI Refresh for WordPress Core – Already in place in core WordPress

WordPress Multisite Case Study

A series of articles on how WordPress is put together, and how you can make it do your bidding!

Dissecting WordPress: Customizing header.php

In the works is an article about Heartbleed, although there has already been an overload of information. Still, we each bring a unique perspective, and I’ve learned from each article I have read. Maybe my writing will help someone else.

And I’m open to ideas for what you would like to see discussed here. Let me know!

I attended my first WordCamp last month, and I will very likely attend more WordCamps in the future!  What is Word Camp? WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by WordPress users – everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other.

I learned, I networked, I met some of the names behind the code, ate some pretty awesome food, and picked up several T-shirts, sunglasses, stickers, and coupons for deals on hosting services! The sessions were informative and fast paced, so there was a lot of information packed into a very short time frame. It takes a few days after the event to process it all!

Tips and tools shared are now in my “arsenal”; I have more resources I can tap to build my business, and opportunities have come up as a result of people met and contacts made over that weekend. WordCamp is worth far more than the minimal registration fee – the “swag” I collected and the lunches alone were worth the cost!
