POTAR

    Bio

    My focus is on search optimization through content refinement, site expansion, and brand promotion. My plugins, Site-First SEO and Checkout Origin Guard are now available in the official WordPress plugin directory.

    Interests

    Collecting music/records, field recording, sound studies, Meshtastic, and electronics.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I migrated to WordPress from Fireworks/Dreamweaver; I had a potential client that was using WordPress and it became clear that WP was a much more efficient and user friendly way to hand off a site to a client. I have been using WordPress (Bootstrap, sometimes) almost exclusively since.
