About Me....
June 24, 2019 |Today's work has been all "About Me." Sorry for the terrible pun, but I had to do it. Since formatting all of the images in my parallax scroll-down feature, I've been working assiduously to flesh out the "About Me" page. In essence, I want this page to serve as a softer, in-depth resume to capture some of my skills and experiences that can't be conveyed as well by bullet points on my offici...

A Much Needed Success
June 19, 2019 |Good news! I finally managed to resolve my CSS customization issue yesterday. Through pointed and dedicated Google searching, I stumbled upon a StackExchange question that addressed my problem succinctly.
