WordPress User Activity Email

If you happen to be a WordPress admin you’d like to get up to date information about user activity on your website. There are a few options. You can use a plugin such as Activity Log, or plenty others available at the plugin repository.

Welcome to notion 360!

I created this blog as a home for my design activities and a place where I can post my ramblings outside of the Facebook echo chamber. Not sure where this is going but right now I’m enjoying it! And off we go … A quote from Robert M. Pirsig’s book “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” came to mind when I started working on this page: This divorce of art from technology is completely unnatural. It’s just that it’s gone on so long you have to be an archaeologist to find out where the two separated. Rotisserie assembly is […]
