WordPress Development Made a Little Easier

Found this article and decided to give it a go.

Wow, setting up a development environment with VirtualBox and Vagrant was quite easy. I had to fix up my Homebrew install because I haven’t gotten around to reinstalling Xcode after my new install of Mavericks. The command brew doctor was run many times to get it working 😉

Jason gets the ball rolling with the install of Vagrant and VirtualBox using Brew and Cask, then 10up’s instructions to get the dev environment setup are very straightforward.

I can now happily mod my theme(s) for work and test in a nice safe, sandboxed location.

Have a Happy New Year everyone.

ish.

ish. yet another viewport resizer..

This makes so much sense, when there are so many screen sizes the viewport needs to be a range of sizes.

Maybe there are other resizers, but this is one seems to make sense, and it sure is great.

ish. is yet another viewport resizing tool. It’s called “ish.” because it focuses on general ranges (small-ish. medium-ish. large-ish.), rather than popular device widths. It’s our jobs as web designers to make sure our interfaces look and function across all screen sizes, and ish. is here to help.

So These are the new Domains

New TLD’s are coming soon. I don’t know about you, but “my.plumbing” might be hard to explain to anyone who still insists they have to add “www.” to everything.

.bike, .clothing, .guru, .holdings, .plumbing, .singles, .ventures

.camera, .equipment, .estate, .gallery, .graphics, .lighting, .photography

.sexy, .tattoo

This might change the trend for long domain names to very short domain names,  because the TLD is so long.
