Vague on deliverables

Lacking clear timelines

Suspiciously cheap

Missing post-launch support

I tried the new version of ChatGPT o3 high, designed for coding. It worked very well, with no mistakes. I will keep playing, but I recommend giving it a try.
AI is improving very quickly.

Google is testing a new AI function called "Ask for me".
What this will do is find out information for you and come back with the results, like phoning window cleaners for you and asking them about their availability and costs.
Is this what we want?

By simply changing your analytics tool from Google Analytics to the Free JG Website Analytics (only 887B) you reduce each page load by 65KB per visitor!
If your site has 100K monthly visitors, you will save 6GB!

Trying out self-hosted Matomo analytics today. On installation it creates 48 tables in your WordPress database. Is that what they call "bloat"?
I also noticed it saves user's WordPress passwords, why would it need that?

It's quite handy to be able to show a message on your website to your visitors on certain days, maybe a lead-up to a Sale. It's even more convenient if it is managed automatically!

Would you know if the sponsored link you paid for got removed?
Maybe you pay to sponsor an event and in return for a link on their site to yours.
A new feature is being added to AVE.

I have started using Whimsical to create the flow of my plugins in design phase, so far very good and easy. Worth a try if you are a developer!
It saves so much time in the end when planning out the code in advance. This tool is one of the best I have tried.
Anyone suggest another?

It's January Sale season! If you don't let your website visitors know your products are on sale you won't create FOMO, highlight your amazing prices.
Don't be shy, shout about your Sale prices by using a flexible Message plugin.
