    I have made a mess while trying to fix a mess

    This blog has been around for a darn long time. A very long time. It’s a hot mess in the background no lie. So I decided to renovate it a bit. I was super excited to see that my webhost Green Geeks added a WordPress manager to the Cpanel which means that I could easily…
