A long history in the educational uses of infotech – especially with e-learning. Now just playing in & meditating on the last quarter of life ;o)

WordPress Origin Story

I had an X-Cart shop client who needed to integrate a blog into her website in 2012. So I built in a WordPress site in a /blog directory and created a child-theme to mimic the design of the shop. Since then I’ve built half a dozen WordPress sites and as many Drupal sites. What’s good about WordPress is that (unlike Drupal) you get a functional site to start with. It’s possibly less powerful, but for most applications it’s quite good enough. And lots of designed/developers know WordPress so succession planning is much easier.
