Worked on the Laetitia Test Site today! Reformatted the home page a bit and continued working on the text for the “Foremother of Sociology page”. I would like to make the website a bit more exciting, so I’ll be doing some WordPress training after my shift.

Citation Workflow Deliverable   REFLECTION ON DOCUMENTATION: To create good documentation, specificity is necessary; screenshots are especially helpful.
