Hack New Input Types into Contact Form 7
Background
I use the Contact Form 7 plugin on my Command Capsule website. It allows customers to get in touch with me right from the home page. I love how absolutely simple it is to create a quick contact form and I like that I’m able to customize the templates.
One thing that is critical for me is mobile support. The world is mobile now. Command Capsule uses responsive design to fit and read well on any number of devices, from desktop HD screens to small smartphone screens.
Comments Are Tricky
I love it. In this post on an album cover featuring Lee Ferrell, Will Ferrell’s dad, the comments quickly go from the usual fare to Lee’s old friends trying to get in touch. So, not only do people not look at your website to see what it’s about, they typically don’t read your post at all, and they often only read the comment right before theirs.
I Will Not Rent from Avis
My family and I took a short trip from Seattle to Denver last year. There were four of us including two children under the age of five. If you have a choice between traveling with small children on an airplane for more than an hour and, say, getting a root canal, well, I don’t know what to tell you.
Leaders, Teams, and Decisions
Reading Give me spark today at 37signals I was reminded of some of the lessons I learned reading Patrick Lencioni’s business books. If you haven’t read any, his most famous is probably The Five Dysfunctions of a Team.
When you start discussions with a group around an issue for which a decision must be made, there’s a lot that can go wrong. Tempers flare, politics arise, quiet people get really quiet. It’s easy for the real issue to get lost. It’s easy for the wrong decision to be made in order to appease the group.
Losing the Past
Every person, every profession, every nation, every generation bemoans the loss of its past, condemns its lot in the present, and praises the unseen glory of its future.
