Random thoughts on life
This is a snapshot, at time of writing, of what plugins I’m using on my site. And this will vary from one month to the next. I’ve grouped them appropriately too and given an explanation as to what it does for my site and, where appropriate, some additional notes about usage, performance, etc.
For some other context, this is my personal site and is not a money maker. There are some affiliate links on it, but these are rare. As a result, all the plugins I use are free.

So can it be done?

2 years ago I wrote an article at work about aphantasia and how it affected me. People found it helpful and at least one person had the realisation as a result that they had it too. However, I’ve been reluctant to publish it externally, for the simple reason that I’m no medical expert, and all of this is based on my limited knowledge of the subject but, particularly, how it affects me, especially considering that how it affects me will be different for others.
Never-the-less, I’ve decided to do so, albeit edited for a different audience and brought up to date with more recent notes from myself.
