Exploring the WP Site Editor

After the most recent Reclaim Community Chat on Full Site Editing in WordPress, I decided it was time to explore the Site Editor for myself. To experiment, I used my sandbox site (sandbox.laurenhanks.com) and installed one of the simplest themes I could find, Zoologist. I realized later that this is a child theme of Blockbase.… Read More »Exploring the WP Site Editor

Asana Workflows

Consider this post to be my unofficial love letter to Asana. If that’s not your thing, feel free to skip along to something else. You’ve been warned. 🙂 A lot of my role in operations boils down to evaluating workflows. (Communication pathways, task progress, scheduling, UI inefficiencies, project pipelines, team …

OERxDomains: Discord

OER19 Notes, Thoughts, and Reflections

I’m sitting in my home office, staring down at my little, blue notebook full of OER19 scribbles, and a bit in disbelief that the two-day conference has already come and gone. Last week I had the pleasure of returning to OER for the second time to participate in conversations surrounding this year’s theme: Recentering Open.

WP Last Login & Admin Columns

Note: this post really only pertains to anyone interested in tracking the signup date / last login activity for their users within a WordPress dashboard. Yep– I’m looking at you, DoOO Admins. A few weeks ago (I’m clearly behind on blogging) I was asked by a DoOO admin at Georgetown if there was an easy way to see, side by side, both the date that the user signed up alongside…
