Yippee! Open Source Software! We love it! Really? I’m not a tech guy nor do I play one on TV, but all the hype about how WordPress and other similar stuff makes your life easy is overestimated, at best. My latest escapade into herding cats is trying to manage the zillion plug-ins I have running on my site by myself. Kill me now, but outsourcing is for me. Plug-in Fever I’ve developed a website that has plug-ins, those little bolt on attachments all created by various authors and revised at different times, coming out of the wood work! I have plug-ins for… * affiliate ad postings * similar blog posts * social media icons * e-commerce * SEO * form generation * spam avoidance * popups * columns That’s just to list a few.
