Re-send because I forgot to click "reply all". It's been awhile since I did a mailing list;
Thanks Lorelle and others. So far, I've been looking at the "stubs" and "ContentEdit" marked pages and looking at how I could expand and or clarify, as well as some minor fixes. Areas that I want to focus on are Theme and Plugin development areas of the Codex. Those are the areas I use most and will have the most knowledge in, as well as have the most to gain in expanding on as I would be learning for my own uses as well. The best way to know how things work are through your own experience with them. On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 7:18 PM, Lorelle on WordPress < [email protected]> wrote: > Welcome!
