Colophon
This website is proudly powered by WordPress. WordPress has become far more than a blogging tool and with a little bit of patience and understanding of how it works almost anyone can use it as a small-scale Content Management System (CMS).
One of the most powerful aspects of WordPress is the ability to apply themes and templates which makes changing not only the look but also the functionality of the site. The theme I am currently using is pretty much a custom mix. I figure since I have pushed the WP platform as far as I have, I should customize up something for myself.
Below I have compiled a list of plug-ins that I have pulled together to make this site possible. Admittedly, the more I use the platform, the more I appreciate its true power and capability. While much of it is part of the core software itself however, the plug-ins are definitely a valuable resource. Expect this list to change over time as I add new functionality and eliminate old functionality that I no longer need.
