Happy December! This is an interesting time of year as 2015 has seemingly flown by. Personally I’ve had better years, but 2016 could be a huge year for me. I’ve a lot that I want to focus on and improve on, and now that I’m fairly comfortable in myself, I’m beginning to look outward an…
So I’m writing this at the tail end of a very successful WordCamp Manchester, which was held on the weekend of October 10th.
