Continuing the development of the site, a few more issues came up. Product Image Size I had an issue with the product image proportions being more portrait than square, that didn’t suit the images I had made for the site. I have since found a setting in the theme that lets you adjust the proportions

I have a couple of demonstration sites.  Vast & Property Information. These are sites that I use to demonstrate certain functions of a programme or to display results. Early on I started with a Google Map that I applied data over. For some reason, it is a bit sensitive on my VPS site and doesn’t

On with the plot. I’m setting up a service based website with WordPress Woo Commerce site with Local by Flywheel. Copying Site from Local to Host Site Before I get too far with local I want to transfer a copy of my site to the new site I have set up on my VPS (Virtual

The plot. Selling services for Data Capture for Facility Management clients.

I have been going along to  Wellington JS meetups.  The last one was Konstantin Raev “Using Open Source responsibly: why Yarn was created“. His talk was focused on React Native and Yarn as a download  of packages versus npm. He gave some interesting statistics of how popular npm was compared to other package managers and

I’d come across this website and thought it was quite interesting. You could put polylines, lines and markers on the map and get the output in geoJson format. So this could be read with a bit of coding and displayed on a map on a website. I have just been having a wee tinker around

I have been fleshing out some of the web site content. It has got me thinking. When the earthquake happened in Wellington November 2016 a lot of offices closed and did not re-open until the buildings were deemed safe to use. I recall a few people saying it did not disrupt their work too much
