Sidebars!
My theme doesn’t really have sidebars aside from the menu at the top of the screen. I customized that with my about, contact, blog, events, and welcome pages. I also added a button that takes you from my about page to my contact page.
Plugins!
I chose to install a few different plugins. I added Akismet and Jetpack, because I’ve seen a lot of consultants here using those (and they seem to know what they’re doing), and because they help with the security of the site. You can’t see them from the front end, but they’ve already come in use by showing me how to make my site more secure. I also added a plugin called The Events Calendar, which is pretty much what it sounds like. You can post upcoming events and related information, and visitors to the site can browse past and upcoming events. This feature can be found on my events page!
Appointments!
I think in general, I am most excited to train people on spaces, especially the 3D print lab and video production studio! I went through my first year at Mary Wash without any idea what cool resources I had access to, and I want to spread the word about all the things we have the ability to create through these spaces.
Yarn Fact!
“Yarn technology is old; evidence of twisted fibers has been found at many prehistoric sites, including one from 40,000 years ago.”
Michael Schirber, How Cotton Fibers Become Yarn, Physics 15,27
Your website is so cute! I love the yearn theme. It is cool that you know how to crochet. I wish I could do that!
I love your website! Especially the yarn theme I used to knit all the time. And I love how you used your pages, especially the events page they feel very set up and like you’re an official blog updating your adoring fans.
from one yarn lover to another (i don’t make things, but i buy crochet items that other people make – that counts right?), i love the site! very creative and very cute!!
