March 9, 2015March 10, 2015 cogdog

February 25, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog

A Two Dog Theme Demo

February 25, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog

Most of the time it’s intentional, but I do not always plan to use a dog metaphor. It just happens. In setting up the trubox multisite as a place for You Show participants to start their blogs, I came up […]

Office Calls… and a Vague, Half Thought Out SPLOT Idea

February 18, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog
