Bio

Google Ad Grants Certified Professional, helping nonprofits to learn to use their free advertising grants from Google and Microsoft. Previously a WordPress developer and a librarian.

WordPress Origin Story

I started off building small websites for nonprofit organizations, hand-coding them at first. When WordPress came along it greatly simplified that task, then it opened up new possibilities. WordPress gave me a career for some years. I still maintain several WordPress sites of my own.
