Second Chance to Win Production

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.

Genesis Explained Admin Class

Genesis 1.8 introduced a whole new admin system.

Production Theme Released

This theme has been a long time coming. If you are not aware, Rafal originally designed this theme nearly a year and a half ago.
