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.

Even More Verbose

For a long time I have been amazed by all the pieces parts involved with web development. I talked about it in yesterdays post. Another thought I have had about web development for a long time is it is very verbose. Today I learned that it is even more verbose than I thought. According to the Udemy course, I am currently working my way through, up until approximately 2009, websites were developed for viewing on PCs and then modified for viewing on a cell phone. We probably all have experienced sites on our phones that look terrible. If you look at the same site on a pc, it probably looks fine. After 2009, websites were viewed more and more on cell phones. The majority of viewing is done on cell phones today. So now the best way to develop a responsive website is to start with cell phone version and

Managing the Pieces Parts

I have said for years that internet development has too many “pieces parts”. I had no idea how many pieces parts there were. What lead me to this revelation was comments in the UDemy course I am taking on WordPress Theme design. I am almost done with the course. I was in the section where you learn how to upload the website, Fictional U, that I have been working on to the internet. The course teaches 2 methods. The instructor says that the first method is the easy way but is not good for frequent updates. The second method takes a while to set up but then becomes very straight forward. He recommends that you only use the second method if you think you are going to make frequent changes AND you know GITHUB. Since this isn’t a GITHUB course, the lesson using this method won’t make sense if you
