I’m not a programmer, but I play one when I’m adventurous.
A client of mine needed to share different (private) content with their clients. He also needed workers of his to be able to view and update all clients pages, but didn’t want to give access to the WordPress admin area for either. Continue reading 'How to create a client portal in WordPress'»
In an effort to get to know friends better, and for friends to get to know me better, I share my top 25 songs from iTunes (since it keeps track!) I encourage you to do the same. I’m sure I’ll experience new music! Have fun! Continue reading 'My top 25 played iTunes songs'»
Well it looks like others have thought of the same solution that I have: to use WordPress, which is primarily “blogging” software for use on websites that don’t look like blogs.

I’m just now looking into an eCommerce solution through WordPress. It looks like it may not be as difficult as it looks. You’ll see my site will have products that I’ll be “selling”.

In Firefox, however, it behaves well. So, if I intend on continuing to add to this, Firefox will be my browser/editor of choice.
If I can figure out how to change the date of the blog posts, I can utilize the calendar for appointments and special events. This could prove to be helpful. This will allow clients of mine to use this software for scheduling workshops and sharing it with their clients. Otherwise, it’s ineffective. We’ll see. Ooo… looks like I can. I like it.

Well this is pretty damned cool. I just didn’t expect this blogging stuff to be this easy! I want to share this with the world! (How to install a blog, not my blog.) I thought this would be hours of hair-pulling but alas, the 5 minute install of WordPress really was 5 minutes. (Maybe even less!) Wow. I’m just astounded. Continue reading 'Hello World!'»
I just went back in time to write this utterly boring blog entry! It was so worth it!
