Today is a great day.  I’d like to personally thank Toni at Automattic (the company that owns Wordpress) for accepting me into their Wordpress Consultant List.  Thanks so much, and I hope to do Wordpress proud and be an asset to the Wordpress Community.  Thanks!

Check out my newly revised Wordpress Consulting page.

Thanks again Toni!
