I used to work in tech support. While I enjoyed the work I didn’t like the way the department was managed and continually had issues with this. Not only do I have a problem with authority figures but I also have a hard time dealing with extreme stupidity, especially from those earning a much higher salary.
I was going through some plugins recently and started thinking about how WordPress could be used as a system to provide technical support for end-users.
Happy end of March and beginning of Spring. It’s definitely getting warmer but since my heat is already off sometimes I am at my desk hovered over the space heater (with the two kitties right next to it as well). The daffodils and cherry blossoms are blooming and it’s starting to look lovely here in Philly. Of course, everyone is sneezing but that will pass.
This week I have going google free, above the fold, freelancing, WordPress, some skateboarders in Uganda, and more.

I’ve been really busy since the beginning of March. Well, I’m always busy but it seems that everyone woke up from their winter hibernation on March 1st ready to start a new project. This is great but …
A lot of the last two weeks I’ve spent WAY too much time chasing down passwords. Fortunately, I test them as soon as I receive them – I used to wait until I was ready to do the work and that ended up causing even greater delays.
The client either doesn’t understand what I mean when I say I need a ftp or cpanel login or the logins I am given are not accurate.
I don’t mind the occasional login mishap – I even sent the wrong one to a client the other day. But I’ve spent so much time the last couple of weeks getting the logins that I am almost ready to add a “chasing down logins” fee to my contracts. It’s eating up valuable time and this is time that I’m not generally getting paid for.
So, yeah, I’m getting grumpy about this.
Since Monday was World Water Day, I wanted to do a roundup of WordPress themes featuring water but, surprisingly, I could only locate a handful that weren’t completely hideous.
And since I LOVE coffee and you need water to make it, I decided to do a post featuring WordPress coffee themes instead.
Below are 14 of the best ones that I found. Enjoy!
Happy Spring!! It’s been gorgeous in Philly the last couple of days.
This week I have WordPress, bike routes, natural dyes, questionable food, and more.
Enjoy!
