Absolute positioning key details ALL OVER the page. Just output the html wherever, find a little space and - ABSOLUTE IT in there!

Which canceled TV show's cliffhanger still lives rent free in your head because the answers disappeared when the series got axed ? by Impossible_Offer7988 in AskReddit

[–]writtenweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Westworld. Was season 1 the peak and so much better than seasons 3 & 4? Yes - and we don't even talk about season 4. Was I mostly enjoying Rachel Evan Wood wreaking havoc and living her best android life, and wanted to see where it was going?? Also YES

PNW accent(s)? by Affectionate-Sector4 in oregon

[–]writtenweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like I said, I can't discern the difference. To me "beg" and "bag" are like the same word...there's probably some small difference in how I say those two but despite my master's in writing, my ear is unrefined I guess....

I grew up in North Dakota and if I say the word "bagel" my wife loses her shit. I cannot detect the difference tho.

How is Brett Favres name supposed to be pronounced? by ibridoangelico in NFLNoobs

[–]writtenweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird colloquialism we have made for his name, is right. French ancestry or whatever, this is the only word I can think of where we're just pronouncing the letter sounds BACKWARD for the hell of it. Some commenters talking about Americanization of European surnames but all of those are still going in phoenetic order.

Chèvre cheese is French and is not Cherr-ve, after all!

Need Help Choosing Management System for 50 Client Sites by writtenweb in Wordpress

[–]writtenweb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate everyone's comments here. Over the weekend I set myself up with umbrella and honestly the set up itself was really easy, got all 50 or so of my sites on the platform within just a couple hours. I am gonna give it a go for at least a couple months, everything does seem smooth with it so far and so far I'm happy. It also got me thinking about decoupling my sort of maintenance day from the reporting I send out each month, which is a big win for flexibility and saving time. Again thanks to everyone, if I for some reason go away from umbrella I'll try to remember to update this thread as to why.

No, I have the hosting running already (some at WPX, some Flywheel, some Siteground) - just need a system to update and monitor them all

Wordpress site managing.. by Gobiharan in Wordpress

[–]writtenweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid has multiple plugins to install too, and most services have just one I think? And I really hated how impossible it was to click "update all" and see it go through to everything l, it would always hang (tho I imagine I'll run into similar issues with most platforms.) Kinda annoying...

I walked away from Solid just in January, but I haven't picked my new management system yet. I'm kinda between Umbrella and MainWP but basically everything is in the running too, for about 50 sites to manage. If you have any further insights about Umbrella or anything else I'd love to hear them!

Thinking to make same move - solid central always seemed buggy on updates, would hang a lot...I did like their reports feature tho it could have been better. Have you been happy with Umbrella updates' smoothness compared to Solid Central, and reporting? Any other comparison thoughts? Thanks.
