Mailchimp rides again
I use Mailchimp on some other sites to get out updates from the blog function. Seems to work ok generating an email from an RSS feed. But, there are problems: the standard WordPress RSS doesn't send the featured images in the RSS feed. I like my images to show up in...
how to do post formats
I once studied to be an oceanographer… but alas I didn’t wind up working in that field. That doesn’t mean that the ocean is less fascinating to me. I just work with it differently.

On to Philly and Longwood Gardens
