Introducing Ron

Posted by Andrea under elsewhere

If you’ve read any of my posts here or in the forums, at some point I’ve mentioned my husband Ron. Sometimes he’s known as my in-house programmer, my code monkey, or even Mr. Andrea. Now you too can be elucidated by his introductory post over at WPMU.org, entitled Less is Better.
