Welcome to Dungeon!

by Jeff Starr on Wednesday, February 1, 2006

This is where I put everything that is related to the operation of the Perishable Press website. The name “Dungeon” started as a joke, but just kinda stuck around, mostly because I am too lazy to change it to something else. Here you will find everything from software and plugins used to official site policy and statistics. Plus a whole lot of other stuff, like where I’ve been published, online friends, guest posts, and even a demo of AddMySite, one of my freely available WordPress plugins. So lurk around a bit and learn a discover some of the inner workings of Perishable Press.
