You are one week in the books as a blue badge. - [Scott] I survived it. - [Ben] Remotely, so you survived it. What is the first week kind of like a first week, anywhere else where you just, I think I saw it. You were just watching a bunch of videos, and doing a bunch of learning and figuring out where everything is, and what you're supposed to do, and where you're supposed to find that and all that. - [Scott] Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you go to a new company, you get to learn the way they do things. - [Ben] Yep, exactly. And now, since you're in the Eastern time zone, and they're in the Pacific time zone, are your hours like 11 to eight? - [Scott] No. No, I'm primarily in my hours so far. - [Ben] You're just sticking your hours so far. - [Scott] So far, mostly. - [Ben] Perfect. All right. So essentially, we're now a blue badge. I have a question for you that I ran across on Facebook. I'm going to not say who it is or not say which Facebook group I saw it in, so said person could remain nameless. But I have a question for you, Scott. Do you know, or the question was anyone, does anyone know what is the best way to add WordPress plugins, for creating their own design in SharePoint 2019? - [Scott] Step one, uninstall SharePoint 2019 step-- - [Ben] install WordPress. - [Scott] Step two, install WordPress, yes.

And those could be in WordPress right? - [Ben] And then pull in a WordPress site. Just put WordPress in an I-frame in SharePoint, in teams. - [Scott] . - [Ben] Bingo. - [Scott] It's all just code somewhere. - [Ben] Inception for Office 365 and WordPress. Now I was making breakfast this morning and I saw that, and it just gave me a chuckle. - [Scott] Indeed, yeah well. - [Ben] Yeah, I don't have anything else, I'm tired. It's been a long week, I'm going on vacation next week. - [Scott] Yeah. - [Ben] Yeah. - [Scott] Disney's open again. - [Ben] No, We are actually going up. We're going North now, we're going up to Georgia. - [Scott] Georgia is not North, it's still in the South. - [Ben] It is North for me. - [Scott] very true. - [Ben] As is just about everything. - [Scott] There we go, very true. - [Ben] Yeah, so we're taking out for a week and just getting away with the whole family. Some of my in-laws us, we rented a house and we're gonna go social distance somewhere in the woods, in Georgia. - [Scott] Excellent, we're thinking about doing the same, but we'll do it closer to when the leaves change. 'Cause Palm tree leaves don't really change color, but if you do go to Georgia or North Carolina or South Carolina, you start to get into leaves. That actually changed, so we're gonna do that more in like October, November. - [Ben] Got it, nice, I think we might, well, it's not a might actually later this year, we aren't gonna brave the airports too and fly up to Michigan to see my f...
