So who out there uses Word­press? I’ve been told it’s some­what pop­u­lar.

I myself am a fan despite it’s assault on the CPU and data­base. It’s fast, it’s simple, and so long as your web­site isn’t gain­ing huge traf­fic (or you’re paying peanuts for CPU usage and stor­age) than it’s a great selec­tion. It’s fairly cus­tomiz­able, has a huge sup­port and user base, and it’s just damned easy to use. I’ve been slowly get­ting more and more into cus­tomiz­ing and extend­ing what Word­press can do out of the box.There’s more in the code than people think.

Recently I a friend of mine ripped a strip off of me for only using sum­maries in my RSS feed. He told me that he, along with other net-​savvy users, didn’t have time to get teased by RSS summaries.

So I’m near­ing the end of my first major project. Well alright I’ve had many projects in my life, but this was my first pro­fes­sional project. I was … many things in my project: Lead Devel­oper, Lead Archi­tect, Psudo-​Business Ana­lyst, Nego­tia­tor, Trainer, Medi­a­tor, Whip-​cracker. The list goes on.

As the project is finally wind­ing down, I feel it pru­dent that I write down some of the nuggets of infor­ma­tion that I have gleaned from the experience.

Follow along and learn with me as I half-​rant life tips.
