Blog Lafayette

I have spent the last several days redesigning another WordPress site and I am just about done. It is amazing how much time working through learning new bits and pieces of technologies can take but I am grateful for the knowledge I have gained through this process. Over the next few weeks I will intersperse articles about the steps I took to install and configure the new plug-ins and such. I hope that I will be able to cut the time short for the next person who comes along trying to figure out how to get their WordPress site to do more than it does out of the box so to speak.

In a story today in Lafayette’s Journal and Courier newspaper, I was glad to hear that the rate of foreign students enrolling in Indiana colleges took a big jump this last year. That is good news for us locally because of Purdue University. Purdue enrolled 6900 foreign students to take the lead in the state in enrollments. That is good for our local economy. In this present time of a down economy and fewer jobs, anything that brings up the money coming into our community is a plus. I am also grateful for Purdue University and it’s reputation. We have one of the best Universities in the United States right here in our own city. Just one more reason why I like living in Lafayette Indiana.
