I'm thinking of doing some freelancing styling Bootstrap sites for people who don't like doing front-end work. Anybody have tips for doing that? I poked around on odesk and elance a bit but it seems the going rate there is roughly minimum w

He said they just need to 'hire a real designer and/or front-end guy' - which basically translates to 'add your custom styles' and you're both happy. And I agree with you both. The problem is so many people don't do that. They just leave th

Same! I asked for this via Twitter and when I got that email today it was like Christmas. But then I read the email and went to the site, and was so sad they didn't do anything like this :( Is this in the pipeline?

No, people are making the same mistake the TC reporters made. Look through the "private messages" of your friends. The dead giveaway is that a huge number of them are happy birthday posts. People post those on walls.

No way this is true, or you wouldn't need to post some obscure French source to prove it - it would be on CNN.

YC is the Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT and Caltech of accelerators, all rolled into one. But that doesn't mean startups who can't get into YC are wasting their time going through other accelerators anymore than students who can't

Skills are what matter, not your age. In some respects, it's probably harder to be taken seriously as a 50-year old than as an 18-year old. People will assume you don't know the latest technologies and/or are set in your ways and/or are too

That registration has value - its an asset that makes recurring revenue - so they'd likely transfer (sell) it to another registrar. You'd get an email with a link to a new backend to login to etc. This has happened to me numerous times over

I think most people probably don't agree with this and certainly no welcome email is worse from a marketing standpoint. Given that you are sending a welcome email, a personalized one is clearly better than a robot generated one, if you can

Agreed but the only reason this exists is because people are lazy. It's not hard to make a Bootstrap site look nothing like Bootstrap. The problem is people put a site up and focus on the backend and consider the front-end solved because th
