As another year rolls by with this site, I’ve decided to attempt an upgrade to this blog’s design, navigation, and layout. The software that I’ve been using for a while is WordPress – I’m going to do my best to upgrade to the newest version without too many bumps, but if something drastically goes wrong, you’ll know why! *Update* – I’ve managed to upgrade to the newest version of WordPress without any problems, but as I begin the customization process,Read more
