For my own sanity, I decided to merge a two of my blogs into this one. I made sure every post on each blog I imported came with its own category. I first imported nomad.codes. It is a site I used to show off travel and adventure-related photos. You can peruse the category #adventure if… Continue reading Mega blog merge!

Gutenberg ships Thursday! Why wait?
I opened my Twitter feed this morning to find an overwhelming sense of panic with the announcement that WordPress 5.0 ships on Thursday.

Because we didn’t… Continue reading Fjallraven Classic USA 2018
