No Comments

Beginning A New Project

Posted by Edward Caissie on May 2, 2012 in News, WordPress | Short Link

Although I have been considering this idea for some time I only just recently started putting code to (digital) paper on a new project … and, yes, it is WordPress related. What can I say? I really enjoy working with the platform.

Now, the reasons I am writing this here:

  • I know this will be good for myself

Once I am satisfied most of the features are working in a stable alpha-code state I will be looking for some adventurous individuals …

… but, what is this new project?! Stay tuned for more information.

To keep it simple I’m just going to list these items (with their inspiration): Install MultiSite for use with Theme Demos (Ron [...]
