Final Tutorial in First Trilogy of WordPress Articles Published

Final Tutorial in First Trilogy of WordPress Tutorials Published

I’ve reached the end of the first chapter in a long journey. One that started on September 8th 2014, when I wrote my initial development journal and began studying programming. In the beginning, I didn’t really know why I was doing it, but felt that it would become clearer over time if I just stuck with it.

My WordPress Child Theme Release 1.0 – April 26, 2015

My #GitFlow article published yesterday. I used #GoogleDraw, @Evernote, & @Inkscape to produce it. Come see how I made it.

The GitFlow tutorial for SourceTree was particularly challenging to write. I wrote about my concerns in my last journal entry, and I’m glad that I gauged the work appropriately and had clear expectations going into the composition and production of it.

I wrote a draft of the process in Evernote, and captured screenshots along the way – which is how I write most of my articles on the site.…

Latest Post from my Open-Source WordPress Development site about GitFlow, SEO, and Process Flow. Enjoy!

I’m still designing the process flow for the GitFlow article, which is almost done. But I’m going to sit on it for a little while and work it until I feel happy with the results.

After waiting a while to integrate social plugins and start publishing my site to various social circles, I installed the Jetpack plugin through the WordPress Admin dashboard, and the WordPress SEO by Yoastas well, and…
