TAXIFISCH | WordPress and Stuff
During the past year or so, I learned to love my BackupBuddy. Ever since I use it, migrating WordPress sites has just been a breeze.

As I stated before, I am taking part in Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course at Udemy. In order for the learnings to resonate and stick I will try and share some of it with you. Here comes assignment no. 1, “Who are you?”:Continue reading “First Assignment of Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course”
I have to admit I am a bit of a Seth Godin fan girl. I love his books, own probably most of them (including this beauty, from a Kickstarter campaign) and am a fairly regular reader of his blog.
Seths newest product is an online course for freelancers, and, well, sure, I needed to sign up.Continue reading “Seth Godins Freelancer Course”
I love reading food blogs, especially when they feature great pictures as well as interesting recipes. And all of this glutenfree! (You might even be able to cook these wonderful recipes with “regular” flower or noodles. 😉 )

You love Terry Pratchett and know why it is essential to carry a towel at all times? Then you will probably have a lot of fun reading the “Thursday Next” series by Jasper Fforde. Thursday Next is the main protagonist in these “comic fantasy, alternate history novels”.Continue reading “Reading: The Thursday Next Series”
A short recap and some thoughts before it’s too long gone. Yeah, another WordPress event with lots of inspiring, smart and fun people. A big Thank You to the organizers and everybody who had a share in making it possible. More of it!
In a way I feel sorry I can’t be in London for the upcoming WordCamp. Then again I do need some time to implement all the stuff I learned in Berlin and in Leiden. But back to Berlin for now.Continue reading “This was WPCamp Berlin 2013”
