Redirect “add to cart” from specific category
Between sketching on the playground with my toddler (more on that below code), I spend a fair bit of time staring at code. I’d probably spend a lot less time if I wasn’t such a noob, and it took me forever to figure out this Woocommerce problem I’d been having. If you’re trying to redirect…

When Your Job Interview Was Just a Scam
I went through an entire interview with a scammer. It felt so real, and I really wanted it to be real. The interview itself took three and a half hours – time I could have otherwise used to turn salvaged pallet wood into something more useful. Some of you might be thinking, ‘why are you giving…

3 Important Tips For Showing Your Paintings In A Gallery
If you’ll be showing your work at business establishments (restaurants, galleries, community centers…etc.), here are a few things to keep in mind: 1 – Secure your wire.
