This year I decided to install one of the plugins that was recommended for the DI Responsive Theme that I chose to use for my Camp2019 blog.. I installed the Contact Form 7. It was very easy and all I had to do was copy a short link and add it to one of my… Read more »
All Activity Responses
Menus (Response)
As I wrote last year, I wish this activity was around when I was first learning WordPress 6 years ago. I learned everything here the hard way .. I recently combined two different blogs into one. This required a re-vamp of my entire menu structure which you can see here The Theme I had chosen… Read more »
Permalinks in 2019 (Response)
I created a special blog just for Domain Camp 2019 so that I could do my posts there. See link above.
Organizing Posts – update (Response)
I have moved a previous blog that I was using over to Reclaim hosting and merged it with another WordPress free site I had played around in the past. I had categories already, but many posts were either not tagged or the tags may not be exactly what I want. Now that the two sites… Read more »
Changing the settings in WordPress (Response)
Settings things like time zone is something I always forget about. I assume that because I am on Toronto, that anything on my computer is too. I looked around with some of the other things in the Settings, but didn’t end up changing anything. I did, however, change the colours in my admin panel…purple is… Read more »
My Own Cloud Storage (Response)
I was able to install OwnCloud, I uploaded pictures and I created a sound folder. In my sound folder is a heart beat by Mike Koenig from free sound effects. I think this is a very useful feature to have on my domain. I can use it for both personal and professional.

I was able to issue certificates for my sites and my previous and new Word Press accounts/blogs. The only step I was not able to complete was the automatic force serving content. When I went to create the .htaccess file it said it was an error because it already existed. When I clicked on it… Read more »
From Categories to Post Title (Response)
So, since I’m using my blog for a different purpose (maybe the wrong one, oh no!) I’m going to post here (and maybe tweet a bit). I love the deliberateness with which I can customize this site. Initially, I had set my permalinks to the Category/Postname option, but started finding the way I was writing… Read more »
Aw Man! (Response)
I feel like I learned this the hard way at week 2 of camp – plus I’m the worst for taking a very DIY approach, and not consulting online communities and forums, so it was a bit painful learning some of this stuff! That said, I’m in love with what I could create with all… Read more »
