Why You Should Not Use the WordPress Media Library (or Taken Out of Context/I Must Seem So Strange)
If you are acquainted with me or my WordPress work, you likely know that I am a regular on the weekly webcast the WPwatercooler.

The Pre-Existing Wheel: How Indie Music Tours Are Like Tables
Tonight I was up late, working with my sister, Alicia Murphy, on plans for her summer tour (I manage her band and sing backup vocals).
