Sitecore For You Blog
I have maintained the Sitecore For All Wordpress site since 2010 to give tips and tricks on using Sitecore and the tools that might be helpful within the community. Prior to 2020 the name of the blog was RU Sitecore, since I started the blog while working at Roosevelt Univeristy. It took a bit of a hiatus between 2013 and 2020, but has been pretty active since the re-branding.

After working through an extensive issue surrounding a custom workflow using PowerShell, I found there wasn't much information out on the web about solutions for that particular scenario. I had worked with Michael West to try to troubleshoot the problem, and finally came up with a solution. Shortly after it was implemented, I penned a blog post to contribute what I learned in case someone else came across something similar.
