Yes, Mike – I do work on the side. As a matter of fact that is a large portion of my current income. If you need help moving from “Old School” into the new, I can help you out. I would prefer to post your questions here on the blog, but let me know where you are having problems. Let me know what you need help with and I will get you my e-mail address.

Hi, I appreciate the help! This is my first site based on Wordpress but I’m still a touch lost – I can’t keep all these options, plugins, and themes straight! But you can totally see the power. I’m guessing that installation and setup won’t take forever next time. Anyhow, slick site – I’m subscribed to your feed now so I’ll be checking in regularly!

Hi, that’s a great tip – thanks! I’ve just never really caught on to CSS… and I know how to code old-school HTML, PHP, MySQL, C, etc. You do any work on the side? Anyway… cool site – I’m subscribed to your RSS feed now so thanks again!

Definitely agree with what you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to understand. I tell you, I usually get irked when folks discuss issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Isn’t that always the case… one fix overrides whatever was fixed last and we all end up in a perpetual cycle of repair. Job security, you bet! It’s high time that we all stand up and decide that we are not going to produce a substandard product simply because the time-line, the budget, or sheer laziness stand in the way. I can’t tell you how many projects I have “inherited” that the programmers neglected to properly comment and how many of my hours have been wasted trying to sift through the mess they left behind. Remind those devs that when they comment it will make them document what they were thinking at the time they wrote it, and that in itself will lead to fewer defects because they may not have solved all the problems that they set out to solve.

One from today…I told some of the dev’s that some of the other dev’s furnish remarks on QA defect tickets and that those were helpful to me. When I enquired these other devs why they didn’t do the same thing they said “nobody ever reads those” and “I don’t have time for that” Uh, hi? Didn’t I just say I study them? It’s no coincidence that the devs who remark on their solutions have observably fewer defects in their computer code then the lot that imagine there is no time for remarks and no one reads them anyway.
