I have to work on some WordPress sites with god-awful tech stacks. Some of these page builder developers belong in PRISON

@MorganOMedia @Suzzicks In Kansas and other states minimum wage for workers who get tips is $2.14 an hour. Restaurants should should be forced to pay their workers a living wage (which the restaurant lobby lobbies against) but until then servers are relying on tips to survive

The internal search function for posts and pages in WordPress could really use some work. I just searched for a page and the page I was looking for came up second to last on two pages of search results lol

@ramit Americans become sociopaths after getting behind the wheel - even more so the bigger the vehicle

@ramit Nothing against renting but if I had to guess, the vast majority of renters are paying more than the monthly mortgage payment of the property

@NickLeRoy @SEOjobscom With the value that SEOs generate for companies so much of the pay is 💩

@sentinel1909 Creating landing pages is a bit manual but fonts, headers, and footers are quick

@sentinel1909 They take a bit more work than themes that are designed to look a certain way out of the box, but my favorites are Kadence, Astra, and GeneratePress. They each have their own page builders using the native WordPress blocks

@DorianDevelops I wouldn’t mind raising their salaries to help prevent corruption. They should be banned from trading stock though. We’ve come a long way from Jimmy Carter selling his peanut farm to avoid a conflict on interest and not in a good way

@tawnniee I’m sure there are many reasons, but the cost of living and healthcare is very expensive here, especially in the tech hubs

@neilpatel What would a good frequency be and how would the business determine a budget that’s going to get a return? I think it’s worth doing for the reasons you mention but can be hard to quantify the ROI

@neilpatel What are your thoughts on blogging for local businesses? I’m all for it but with some caveats. For example, an HVAC site in the Midwest publishes an article on how to clean your ducts or whatever. Someone from California reading that isn’t going to convert

@kathyzant Me neither. Used it around 2018 when it got big and didn’t have many problems with it back then. Switched to block builders and now that I have some client sites on Elementor I can’t stand it. The workflow is so slow and the code is still bad
