Well, I think you are pointing out issues with clients in general. A well maintained and well managed WordPress site is going to be more secure than something custom built. Having said that, if said clients installs all kinds of stuff willy

A little dramatic? I don't think you do your clients any favors by scaring them with nonsense. What alternatives do you typically push? Are they better because they are more to your taste, or are they better for your clients?

Links are important, naturally. When they are coming organically as a direct result of social engagement, even better. You're more likely to get social engagement if you don't compromise the human readable title and content for the sake of

I'm sorry, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Stay current with what is going on, SEOMOZ and SearchEngineLand are good sources. And btw, the core message in his post is very good one. Lots of people are convinced they need to

Be kind to yourself and build better habits and routines for yourself before making big decisions. If you're more grounded and centered it will be easier to see things in a better perspective.

I'm both amazed and skeptical. This is some very nice work. I'm not sure if, in its current form, it would work well for all aspects of the design process. I think there are some trade offs compared to coding with text editors and dev tools

It's a very tough act to balance, because too many changes will prompt criticism that all kinds of things are breaking on a new update. You can't please both ways, so things move pretty gradually. Having said that each new version has impro

Until the ecosystem shows any signs of slowing down, posts harping about the codebase of WordPress will lack conviction. There is an army of developers who don't particularly like the inner workings of WordPress. But WordPress is thriving a

This depiction is camouflaging itself as if it is a brutally truthful account of the way things are, but I don't see how it even remotely stacks up to reality from any angle you look at it. * A minority of men are truly financially secure,

If the kitchen is dirty, I'd rather order in. When I absolutely have to clean dishes (so we can eat), is when I hate it the most. Plus, I hate knowing that the kitchen will be dirty again straight after cooking. I'd rather do them some wher

Usually the 'work better under stress' is a fallacy that procrastinators use. Timothy Pychyl puts it this way: 'It's not that you work better under pressure, it's that you only work under pressure.' But - I like your coping mechanism theory

I switched to RSSowl quite a while ago and didn't find myself longing back to Google Reader once. It does everything I'd want, it's just not that pretty of an application.

I don't think the average user feels it is at the bottom of the list, rather the average user trusts webservices for various reasons without realizing how much insecurity and lack of privacy results from using common webservices. I think th

One would think there'd be proper competition because one of the major motivators is going paperless... it's kind of odd that in 2013 there still aren't a lot of easy to use solutions that can store sensitive documents (bills, tax documents

To me it feels like a case of a network sabotaging its own show. Step 1: be incredibly inconsistent with air times and play around with dates, step 2: dumb the program to capture a larger audience by making sweeping changes, introducing you

I'm not against split licensing, I think it's a fair for an author to decide. Envato makes that decision for its authors, I think that's unfair to authors. Having said that, I don't buy into to the idea that Envato's licensing protects auth

Do theme authors without the dual license make less money? I don't have the data on that, but it would be interesting to know. I don't think a split license actually makes a positive difference on the bottom line over full GPL on both php a

I'm confused at why some people here are going out of their way to make Da Vinci's achievements sound trivial in the most fuzzy ways without providing any actual clear facts. 'he did not contribute anything new...' The truth is much of his

I know about Michelangelo and Raphael - both painters, but those three are considered to be in the same tier. I don't know any engineers that were considered better in his day. Da Vinci is obviously famous in the history books so it would b
