(Anti) Social Lists 4/11/10

Happy Spring! We had three unseasonably warm days this week and it was a little hard to focus – it even got up to 90F!

This week I have WordPress, freelancing, adsense, backing up, Muppets, and more.

Enjoy!

• Building Your Freelance Business Around WordPress – Ways that a freelance business could be centered around WordPress ;-)
• How to Decide Which Jobs to Take and When to Say No – I’ve become better at determining this. Often, I can tell from the very first email that I don’t want the job. For example, I am not going to build and design a WordPress site in 5 days – that’s just not going to happen.
• Yes. Another Backup Lecture. – Backup, Backup, Backup!! I really can’t stress this enough.
• What Are The Alternatives to Google AdSense? – If you can’t use Adsense or if you are interested in alternatives, this list covers the best ones.
• Custom WordPress Homepage with Customizable Widgets – A custom homepage tutorial for WordPress that covers page templates, widgets, and a slider.
• Window Farming: A Do-It-Yourself Veggie Venture – I’m very interested in indoor gardening as I don’t have any yard space. This article is about growing veggies in your window. I have, however, scored a teeny piece of yard from my landlord so we will be doing a little planting outside – some of my seeds have sprouted so we will be transferring them.
• How to Optimize a WordPress Database – If you don’t mind digging into phpmyadmin, this article will help optimize your database. As with anything, I recommend backing up the database before you get started.
• John Cleese on The Muppet Show
