You Know Your WordPress Site has AIS When…

What’s “AIS”? American Idol Syndrome. In other words the ability to think you are good at something when clearly you are not.

WTF? Where’s The FAQ!

What prompted this post is what seems to be an increasing lack of FAQs being integrated into new sites. I then find I have to search to find the most basic of information — many times to no avail.

You know how it goes… You have an idea for a new site or desire some added functionality on your current site.
