This was my first time trying to just use my phone to capture the notes as soon as they were done and then upload them using the WordPress app on my phone.  The sizing didn’t work out as I had hoped.  Basically you weren’t able to read my messing writing. So I sent it to my email, did a ...

It’s been a long time since I’ve had to vent about my LMS headaches, but alas, here I am again.  Facing the same issues as if nothing was ever learned the first time around.  Well that’s not completely true.  I’ve learn enough to fill and encyclopedia or I suppose that’s a wikipedia now.
