Plugins to the Rescue

Guinea Pig Challenge

Today I spent the majority of my time on 2 things. The first is related to my goals peripherally and the second is directly related I hope. I will explain the ‘I hope’ part shortly. So now it is much later than usual getting my IAAC done.

I spent most of the morning working on making my office usable. I spent much more time than I meant to, especially since this is on peripherally related to my goals. It will be a better place to work. I am almost there. I just have to get the desk cleaned off. Right now it is covered with unmatched chargers and parts of 2 wireless phone sets. It definitely shows my pack rat side.

This afternoon I started investigating WordPress plugins for what I thought might have to be programmed. I found plugins for like/dislike counts, custom post types, and download managers. They all have multiple choices. I decided to start by trying the download managers.

I was looking for download counts, limiting the downloads to once a day and login required features. What I quickly learned is, at least these plugins, are complicated to get set up. I spent a couple of hours and never got either one to work. I am going to have to spend time learning how to set these up. Still should be less time than it would take me to program it. We’ll see.

What it did emphasize is that I absolutely have to have a test environment. I have multiple websites so that shouldn’t be a problem.

A couple of days ago, I talked about CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) architecture and the use of B(lock), E(lement), M(odifier) methodology. This video explains the advantages of using BEM. I actually use a clip from the Udemy course I am taking to explain the advantages. I figure the instructor, Nick, does a great job explaining the advantages so why should I try and parrot it back. I never understood before how helpful CSS could be. But, I have learned that well structured (BEM) CSS cqan save you time and headaches especially on a large website. Nick teaches a way to structure BEM that makes a lot of sense to me. Blocks are short descriptors of what the block is; e.g., row. Elements are the block name, 2 underscores, and the element descriptor; e.g., row__33-percent-column. Modifiers are the block name, 2 dashes, and the modifier descriptor; e.g., row–blue-font.

CSS Architecture BEM

I am so glad I took this course at Udemy. The course is called “Git a Web Developer Job: Mastering the Modern Workflow”. The instructor is Brad Schiff. The course is described as teaching Git, Github, Node.js, NPM, Object-oriented JavaScript, ES6, webpack, Netlify, BEM and job interview tips. I am not looking for job but I did need ti learn Git and Github for another course I was taking taught by Brad. I am not looking for a job but I was looking to understand Git and Github. I needed them for another course I was taking by Brad to overcome the limitation of the free hosting service used in the course. That is a different story which I mentilned a few days ago. Why I am glad I took the course is because I am finally starting to understand to use CSS to my advantage. Before this course, I
