Summer Happenings

Summer 2014 is a season of changes, of moving forward. On the home front, our son is building a house down the country road from us which means that soon he, his partner and their baby will be within arm's reach – very exciting.!

I am reaching, too, working on expanding my web knowledge to include a more complete understanding of WordPress. Lynda.com offers many comprehensive lessons on everything digital, and is the professional's answer to keeping up with technology, and acquiring new skills. The jury is out on whether I want to move right in to coding websites for clients - I am really more a designer and that is where my skills are best applied. However, having a greater understanding of the possibilities and functionalities of this most popular web application is of fundamental importance when conceiving a web project. As well, the ability to identify and modify code is very important in drafting email campaigns and in customizing templates provided by other online web building software like Weebly, which I do on a regular basis.

All in all, learning new skills is part and parcel of staying abreast is technology surges ahead. I am on my surfboard, heading for the wave!
