The End of 2017, Hello 2018
Well here we are as the title says, in the final days of 2017. With the passing of one year, marks the arrival of the next. What will 2018 bring I wonder?

The problem that I am coming across constantly is that some themes don't work correctly with all plugins. In fact, even plugins can conflict with other plugins.

On the flash, this is indicated by the double arrow. Below is a brief overview of setting up the camera and flash.
