Monday, November 9th, 2009

If you need to build an ecommerce site for a client on a limited budget, then a shopping cart solution is a must. Sitepoint has a nice list of 18 shopping cart solutions.

Handy WordPress Template Tags

If you do any work with WordPress, then this page on the WP Codex is super helpful: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags

It has a list of all the WP template tags that you might need for setting up or modifying a theme. I refer to it constantly when working with WordPress.
