An acquaintance made a bot that scrapes subreddits for memes and then posts them where ever he feels like it. He's looking to start a business up and I was thinking this could maybe be a tool to automate the both the content sourcing and the content publishing for social media accounts. Is this...

@eliquid you've inspired me. I spent some time over the past 3-4 days thinking about what you've written and doing the work. Still have a lot of reading to do, but this was a valuable exercise. Some background, I'm 28, have been making my living being self-employed full-time for the past 6...

I'm glad I followed the wisdom of @CCarter and started using Pico CMS. I created a theme for it too based on Skeleton if anyone is interested. Here's the thread: https://www.buildersociety.com/threads/skelepico-theme-fast-responsive-pico-cms-theme-using-skeleton-css-framework.3042/

Thank you, @mmm91492! The nav bar doesn't support any nested submenus. Haven't figured out a solution to that problem yet. I like that accordion idea for submenus, I'll have to play with that sometime.

Thank you! I've coded some shitty websites from scratch on WAMP just trying to learn different frameworks and trying to develop my own (this is when I figured out how to make a purely HTML/CSS responsive nav bar). I've made 4 sites using Pico so far, 3 of them using the Identity theme that I...

Thanks for catching that, @built, I thought I fixed that problem before pushing my code live but I missed the fix in the post.twig file. Thanks a ton!! Glad to hear it, thank you!

@CCarter got me on the Pico bandwagon a while ago and I've loved it but there isn't a lot of choice for themes yet. There's a bootstrap theme but I wanted something simpler to understand as someone (like myself) who isn't a developer. So I decided to take the easiest CSS framework, Skeleton, and...

...and it doesn't matter because the niche is shit. Don't skip Day 2.

I haven't. Honestly I don't even know the pros and cons of your method. Coding is my weakest area and I'm working to get better. When I started playing with this it was just hard enough to keep me somewhat successful, motivated, and challenged so I started running with it.

First I need to start off by saying two things: FUCK YOU PHP (lots of Googling and trial/error to make this for us) THANK YOU @CCarter (this post is my adaption of his code for PicoCMS/Twig) Now that we got that out of the way, let's get started. Please note that this code isn't perfect and...

You need a child theme to make changes to your WordPress website that won't be lost when your BuSo Lightning theme is updated or when the WordPress CMS is updated. This guide will show you how to get your child theme setup. This guide is a good supplement to what you should have learned from Day...

The "vast majority" isn't going to cut it if you want to succeed. If you're looking to cut corners and to take short cuts then you're probably going to be disappointed here. That's the bitter truth. I'll continue on though, just this one last time. The first half of your question is...

You should build your brand first (more info in Day 16) because your brand is your foundation. If you are changing your monetization strategy (covered in Day 9) then you don't have a business model planned. That's bad. Your monetization strategy will dictate the types of content you create, the...

I'm a noob to this forum and this post grew way longer than I expected when I decided to write it. I'm not putting a tl;dr, you can skim the italics/bolds or have some patience and just read it ffs. Or don't. Decent Work + Patience = Compound Interest When I transformed my domain name from a...

I can't post links because I don't have enough points (this is my first post!) but hopefully if I work around that rule to share a link to another thread on this board it will be okay... otherwise RIP me. Anyways this thread is an absolute must-read thread on the topic (just append it to the...
