October has been a big month for me. I’ve tried to take my blogging, coding, and designing skills to the next level, and I think I’ve accomplished this. I hit quite a few goals, blogged on a regular basis, and learned a lot about creating a better blog with valuable content in the last month. [...]
I’ve been scouring the WordPress plugin pages, other blogs, and the Web in general looking for a decent contact form that works with WordPress. Nope, not a one to be found. Well, I’m sure there is one, but I haven’t found it yet. Every plugin I found was easy to implement, but didn’t seem to [...]
