Practical WordPress Development
Notes on programming-related problems that I’ve encountered while working on various projects.
This year, one of the things I’m trying to do is revive the whole Must Read articles that I used to write.
With it being the second month of the year, I can say that I’ve had a 100% success rate in doing that so long as I actually publish this post (which, given that read you’re reading it, I have).
