Point At The Moon. Hi, I’m Perry. I’m a WordPress. Tinkerer. This blog’s theme is my own – or at least as far as it can be considering it is built on top of underscores. And a few parts salvaged from Twenty Fifteen. I have one or two sites out in the open including Bolton Worktown. My main interests, beyond getting the most out of WordPress, are: accessible web design and getting museums collections online to make them as accessible and usable as possible. Thanks for stopping by.
