Prelude Part 1: Setting Up Let’s run through a checklist of things you should’ve done by now: installed WordPress in a web or local host imported content (whether from another blog or dummy content downloaded from the web) to your new blog chosen, downloaded, and installed a blank WP theme went through the PHP and […]
Just in case you weren’t aware, today marks an important holiday for the Asian community: lunar new year. This year is the year of the rabbit, and while I hardly pay attention to astrology (western or eastern), I can’t help but share this awesomely cute picture with you: (image source) Because today is such an […]
