I put together this website so that I could learn how to use WordPress and Elegant Themes. I also figured I was long overdue for establishing a presence on the web. Man – I don’t even rank in Google for my own name! Go figure.
Honestly this site will only change from time to time but it’s a great introduction.
Thanks for reading this and welcome to my site!
Maybe I should really say: Current Interests. Sometimes I think I’m interested in everything.
My current top 5 would be:
I am a husband to Debbie and father of five. Debbie and I currently live in Overland Park, Kansas with our three youngest. (The oldest two are out on their own.)
I am a Christian. Maybe a better way to put it: Jesus gave his life to pay my sin-debt to God. I am so grateful that I turned from who I could have been and instead try (albeit imperfectly) to live my life for Jesus. I am not perfect – but I don’t have to be. In Christ I have forgiveness as a free gift! How cool is that? I don’t have to work to get to heaven which is a huge load off of my shoulders. In church-speak this is called “Grace.”
I am a teacher. I don’t mean professionally, I mean in heart and attitude. I just like to figure out how things work and then explain it to anyone who is interested. I guess I have an aptitude for doing this so it bleeds through into my work and has helped me make a living.
I am verbal. All I can say is that this probably drives Debbie a little crazy from time to time.
I consult with businesses that want to improve their operations. My approach is hands-on. Typically I spend quite a bit of time learning how a client operates their warehouse, provides customer service and handles accounts receivable and payable. Once I understand how an organization currently runs (the baseline) I can pull back and get creative!
That’s when the fun starts. I use my background in Industrial Engineering to analyze and improve the process. A lot of this is common sense coupled with experience gained working with over 700 organizations throughout California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kansas and Iowa.
Once everyone on the team agrees on the improved processes, we enable them through the creative implementation of technology.
I guess you could summarize all this by saying:
The gallery is created using a WordPress gallery.
1. The first thing you need to do is customize the size of your gallery thumbnails. To do this click Settings > Media in wp-admin, and change the default thumbnail size to 202x202px
2. Next you need to upload some images to be used in the gallery. While editing your page, click the “add images” icon, and upload a the collection of images you would like to display. Next click the “gallery” link, and add the WordPres gallery that you would like to display. Make sure you choose “2 columns” and set the “Link thumbnails to:” to “Image file.” Add the gallery to your page. Once added, BusinessCard will automatically convert it into a jQuery slider.
