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.
