You may be wondering just what keeps this blog going and the answer is Wordpress. I heart Wordpress almost as much as I heart chocolate, Matthew McConaughey and Criss Angel. It took me a while to convert from Blogger because I was a chicken, but now there is no looking back.
I always wanted to have little mini posts where I can share tidbits of information without a full post. I tried plugins and was just never satisfied with the result. ThenI found this, and I now have exactly what I was looking for!
Some of the plugins used to help me run this place are:
There are 50 plugins used: 45 active plugins and 5 inactive plugins.Active Plugins

Anything that works really well probably came from Brian’s code. Anything screwed up is probably my fault.
