Do you like to stay up late at night and crank out emails?  Perhaps you like to “tip a few” while you compose those messages.  Maybe when you wake up the next morning, you rummage through your “sent” box to see what you did.  Maybe you wrote something lurid to the wife of your office manager.

Maybe you even gave away valuable secrets, like access to your MySQL database. Perhaps you wrote something embarrassing to an ex-spouse.  Did you send some death threats to your least favorite politician?  Maybe that email you can’t remember sending will someday be called “Exhibit A” by the District Attorney.  You might even get a visit from the Secret Service.

If you have a WordPress blog, there is a 99% chance that you use wordpress plugins. If you develop your own sites, you already know what they are, and you probably are familiar with at least a handful. If someone does your web development for you, you still enjoy the benefits of plugins that do everything from managing comment spam to generating forms pages.

How long should a blog post be? Is bigger really better? Yes. No. Do you think I frequently give self-contradictory advice?

Yes. No. Maybe.

Google can’t tell what a photo is about unless you tell it what it is about. On your WordPress 2.5, there are fields like “title” (for the PHOTO, not the page) and “caption” (alt tag).

Do you know when you should use “upper-case” letters? If you don’t, it would be a “capital” idea to find out! (Bad pun intended. Well, they can’t all be funny, you know. You just can’t expect that!)

The following is an open letter that I wrote to my web development clients:
