About me & this blog
My name is jbrotherlove (one word, lowercase preferred); web designer/developer. blogger. music connoisseur. afro-buddhist. social critic. gourmand. defender of lgbtpoc.
I began writing on the web in the mid-90′s, hand-coding my personal site. From there, I switched to Movable Type which I used for many years. On this site, I am trying to get a feel for what is possible using WordPress. Other than that, there is no agenda here. I’m just experimenting for now.
But you want to know more about me, don’t you?
