About
Just an average guy who got the bug to blog and found the community aspect far more enjoyable. I write about religion and photography and cool things I’ve found but I also love working with others to solve design issues and helping others reach their full potential. Great, now I sound like a job applicant. I’m a problem solver. It’s what I do and how I learned what I know.
I’ve customized this site pretty heavily. Mostly through plugins (listed below) along with some custom pages using third-party tools. Use the CONTACT page if you have questions getting these plugins or other tools to work on your own site.
