Welcome! I’m Mike. I’m a retired mechanical design engineer. I was born in Great Britain and now live in the USA in New Hampshire with my husband Tom.
I created this website to share my creative projects and interests.
Life in retirement can be fun!

Web Development
I created and manage the websites for the Newport Historical Society (NHS) and the Granite State Indian Motorcyle Riders Group (IMRG). I use WordPress. Website development is an ongoing learning process. I’m using the block editor more now and starting to move away from using classic customizer themes. This site was built with the Twenty Twenty-Five block editor theme.The NHS site is in pretty good shape and uses Neve classic which is a hybrid theme. At some point I will switch their site to a block editor theme, but I’m taking my time with that and have a staging site set up to experiment with the page layouts before I think about migrating over. I also plan on updating the IMRG site to use the Twenty Twenty-Five theme.
