Today marks one year of using WordPress to manage this website; I know since I paid yearly for WordPress hosting and today is the renewal. While I have years of leveraging WordPress under my belt, prior to this site I had never really used it in this capacity. I previously just ran free blogs at… Continue reading One Year of WordPress

Enable Directory Listing On Specific Directory With Nginx
Note: In the sample below, I’m using Ubuntu Linux as the host for my web server. The instructions should be the same for other flavors of Linux, though the path to your Nginx sites configuration files may be different.
