Highlights of WordCamp Grand Rapids 2018
TL;DR – This year #WCGR was all about people and conversations for me. Oh, and trying my hand at speaking, which I didn’t totally bomb. Today marked the 4th WordCamp Grand Rapids that I’ve attended. Last year I was just an attendee but this year I stepped things up in a pretty bug way. I was not only a volunteer at the Happiness Bar, but I helped with organize the event, and was even one of the speakers.

They make up the interfaces and designs of a product. They help answer many design and development questions. What Are The Challenges of Design? There can be a breakdown of handoff between design and development. Things don’t always end up the way they were intended. No documentation. Nobody knows how developer created things. It’s not because people are bad at their jobs or don’t care. Lacking the understanding of how user interfaces and experience should work together. How Do You Create A Design System?

Using WordPress As My Note Taking Tool
So this past Sunday, in a continued effort to find my replacement note taking tool for Evernote, I decided to give my blog a try as a not taking tool. I have the Android app on my phone and tablet so that step made things fairly easy. For the most part things went very well, except I still don’t like the lack of Post Format editing support in the mobile app. I still had to switch over to the web to refine my final note the way I liked it to be. Did some Googling to see what other people’s experiences have been with trying this. Might have to give some of their suggestions a try as well. WordPress as a note taking tool Use…
