Wordpress Love

I love wordpress. My first thought about making new websites for clients, friends, or myself is “How can I do this with wordpress?”. In most cases, there is a way. I have used more open source php/mysql content management systems over the years than I can count, and at this point wordpress is my favorite by far.
The code is clean. That is the thing I love best. The file structure makes sense. It is usually pretty easy to completely customize a site design by altering only the theme files.

I am so confused. About everything. One minute I think the meds are starting to finally kick in, and the next that I will have to stop taking them because the only effects are bad ones. I suppose it is a good sign that I occasionally think they are working. It has been a very long time since that thought even entered my mind.
Today, me and K went to the AASCEND’s 6th Annual Conference On Autism and Asperger Syndrome. For the most part, I am glad we went. It is always good to be around other autistic people. It reminds me that I am not alone. I still need to be reminded.

Apologies to the non-computer-geeks…
What?
