Publications

Back in 2012, I had the opportunity to guest-write for Smashing Magazine, and the article I wrote dealt with WordPress permission settings to restrict whom can view a single post on a post-by-post basis. You can read Limiting The Visibility Of Posts In WordPress Via Usernames for full details.

I was a recurring guest writer for WordPress Hub in 2012 and 2013, for which I wrote tutorials for WordPress users of skill levels ranging from beginner to pro. My tutorials are no longer available at the website.

During my time as the Web Editor for my university's student newspaper, The Oswegonian, I wrote a few articles in order to cover topics I had more expertise in or to which I could add a personal touch, a list of which can be found here:
