So many tutorials, so little time…

I have had the most interesting week last week. Actually, the last couple of weeks. I was presented with a challenge, and I took it on, full force.

I take “pro-bono” clients on every year. My max is three, in all honesty, and I actually do have criteria that someone has to meet for me to do this. A couple of these requirements: they have to be willing to be put on the back-burner for paying clients (so I can’t be bound by “gotta have it done by…” dates), they have to be willing to let me “play” (you know, have a bit o’ creative freedom)…and the final one - they have to be able to let me stretch my limits, whether I’m successful or not. So a pro-bono client has got to be pretty flexible, and really not have too many “gotta haves” - more like “wanna haves”…and the more outrageous and seemingly impossible, the better.

Well, this last one was a *doozy*. (What am I saying…was? I’m still working on things!) I tell ya, I have hacked and played and coded my brains out to get some of this stuff to work. It’s been soooo much fun.

And now, I want to share it with you

So I’m getting ready to do a little “series” of “Neat Little Snippets of Code That Are Useful for WordPress” to share with you all, most of which I developed while trying to get this site to run. (No, not this site, but the site I’m talking about.)

Now, please keep in mind that programming is not my strong suit. So some of this code is flat-out ugly as hell. I’m sure better programmers than I will take a look at some of this and say “Why does she make things so hard on herself?” (and the answer would be “Because I don’t know any better.”) But the fact is, these work, and they’re nice little things that should be filed away for future reference. So please - by all means - if you see something here and you think you can write it better, by God, let me know!

I’ve also found a myriad of interesting and neat little plugins along the way. I’ll be mentioning those throughout my little series too. So it’s Coming Soon to a Browser Near You! So watch for it
