Sorry for going quiet. I got a full-time job doing some work with #GeoBlacklight and #InvenioRDM. Been working with #Python, which has been interesting.

Still working on a map for Alabama State Parks using #QGIS.

TIL you can add CSV's to QGIS and join them to an existing layer such as a Shapefile.

Today I livestreamed on Windows! I used #QGIS to create a map of the countries & sovereignties that make up the Caribbean Sea. Lots of data filtering, labels using expressions, customized callouts, layout struggles and pronunciation learning in this one.
