Time to Leave Childish Things Behind

I make no secret of my religious beliefs; however, I do try to keep my religious convictions on my personal blog, My Experiences as ....

Second Chance to Win Production

As I said before, I am good at code, not good at selling. I worked at Sears in sales for years. I never tried up selling folks. I worked with another guy who was always doing up sells. He avoided people looking at cheap stuff and had the best sales all the time. He was a bit of a jerk though and I figured I'd much rather have happy customers that … [Read more...]

How to Load a New Section on Specific Pages

Often it is desirable to put a new section into a site, but only in certain places or under certain circumstances. This is a relatively simple process and may be done via a theme function, following the tutorial on How to Add a Section to Your Site Using Hooks or from Genesis Simple Hooks.
