    Background

    I formed my web design and web development company ( Bobbing Wide ) soon after retiring from IBM, where I’d developed software for 31 years. Originally I focused on developing websites for small to medium businesses, mostly using Drupal and WordPress. In 2011, I started developing WordPress plugins using the brand name of oik-plugins. Many of the plugins are aimed at web designers, developers and power users.

    There are now over 80 plugins avaliable from oik-plugins.com, 13 of which are available from wordpress.org. In total I have over 160 repositories on my main GitHub account: bobbingwide.
