Software, Development, and WordPress
Notes on programming-related problems that I’ve encountered while working on various projects.
Previously, I wrote about updating the content of the blog.
Part of doing that included the desire to select a different theme (preferably one that brings back Post Formats because I never didn’t like them), and to expand the type of content about which I’m writing.
