Code + Design Tutorials

As a web science student I love to spend my free time with the coding and designing of websites. Over the years I learned a lot of things that I think are useful for (book) bloggers. I couple years ago I also started to dive into wordpress and learned a lot of things that made blogging a lot easier for me. 

Now I want to share my knowledge with you and help you create and design your website the way you want it to by actually knowing what you’re doing and not just copying and pasting.

Keep in mind that a lot of these tutorials are aimed at people using wordpress.org! If you’re hosting your blog in another way, you might not be able to implement what’s described!
