Some of the night photos had strong…

    My First WordPress Contribution

    After spending a very long time sitting quietly in my phone’s photo gallery, some of my Canadian photographs finally have a purpose! For my first contribution to WordPress, I selected a small collection of images from my trips and submitted them to the WordPress Photo Directory. This first batch included a mix of nature and…

    My WordPress Onboarding Path

    It took me a little longer than expected to officially start working on this blog. Before opening it to the world, or at least to the small corner of the world that may find it, I completed the onboarding courses provided through the WP Credits program.
