November 2018 Comics w/ CodeinWP … #Freelancing #WordPressThemes #Debugging

Hey guys! You know what’s great about the end of daylight savings? We get another hour to read comics. And this month, we have another clutch of cartoons that poke fun at the weird and wonderful world of tech. If you’re a tech lover then you are bound to find something to love here!

What exactly are we looking at? We are digging into the duality of the freelancer and the unique pressures of working for yourself. We are also sharing our view of the mythical lightweight WordPress theme, and celebrating the developer’s best friend and consigliere who can go anywhere. We’ll also consider the flaws of the highlight-all strategy for web design. Then, we look at how you can use a plugin to give yourself expertise in any area.

If you’ve still got time in your extra hour then why not drop by our comics archive and see what else we had put together over the past year.

As usual, the real hero here is João Santos, who helps us brainstorm ideas and makes them into actual comics.

I have taken up enough of your time; let’s dive into the November 2018 comics already.

When the boss is away; play all day

When you're the boss it's like you have no boss

The hardest level is the one with a boss fight with yourself.

The best debugging happens with a rubber duck. In the bath. At home.

When everything is important: Highlight all the things!

Like the old adage: highlighter of all sections; emphasizer of none.

    I’ve been running my own sites for over 14 years now, and have also had many years experience with client websites and all their various hosts. So I have direct experience with many different hosts and have also interacted with the technical support departments of many of them.

    My recommendations have changed over the years as the landscape has evolved – previously reliable hosts have gone downhill, and a new segment of WordPress-specific hosts has developed and thrived.
