    Bio

    Retired, interested in family history research, WordPress, any techno stuff.

    WordPress Origin Story

    Took over from the previous webmaster who retired due to ill health. At that time the site was hand coded in HTML. The society bought a copy of Website X5 which I used for a while. It had no provision for an on line shop in the UK so, I ditched it. Had a look at OsCommerce which I quite liked, it had a a Royal Mail plugin which would have suited me down to to the ground. The problem with OsC was it was just a shop, not what I wanted.
    Then I found WordPress and here we are. My only issue is I am having to use an unsupported out of date copy of Royal Mail plugin which is a bit of a bind when the postage price goes up. I know Woo have one but I am working on a tight budget and can’t afford subscription packages. Hey ho.
