    Looking For A Good Content Organizer For WordPress (Solved!)

    I recently imported a decades worth of tweets on my site, and the hashtags were automatically added as regular tags. Now I want to go through and wrangle them. I know I can do a lot of this in core WordPress, but I’m hoping I can find some utilities that will make this easier.

I believe that we’re long overdue to shake up this work model, and using knowledge from my nearly 20 years in the workforce, both as an employee, and a business owner, I have come up with what I believe is a better way to measure success.

    Help the Standifords with Their Winter Home (Resolved)

    Their beloved fifth wheel RV was severely damaged during transport from Georgia to Texas in early November of 2023, jeopardizing their ability to continue this adventure. The incident has left them in need of financial support to both navigate the repair or replacement of their home on wheels, and renting a place to stay while they get things sorted. With your help, they can restore their RV life and get back on the road in the spring, continuing to live life authentically and on their terms.

    Killing My Agency Was A Good Choice

    Since shutting down my agency last year, I’ve noticed a considerable uptick in the quality of work I find. Let’s hope this trend is a signal that my pivot was the right choice, and it continues to grow.
