Here’s another solution to something that’s not very well documented online. In migrating a website over to WordPress, we ran into a question of how to display a hierarchical set of information, especially when recreating the many, many menus available. After creating a custom post type, loading some content and setting up some child pages,…
Here at Eyesore, we work for our customers. And if the customer wants a specific look on their site that theme templates cannot deliver, then by golly, we’ll load up a Blank theme and make it for them! So when development was approved for a large eCommerce site, and the design came through to the developers, it became…
Last week we had the pleasure of attending the Atlanta Chapter of the American Marketing Association’s monthly signature luncheon that featured three subject matter experts discussing Brand Journalism. The panel featured representatives from three Atlanta-based companies: Chic-fil-A, Coca-Cola, and UPS. We walked away with a lot of valuable information, and wanted to share a few tips…

I took different steps to try and troubleshoot this issue, making sure that the shortcodes were correct in the backend and that the theme was not stripping them in any way. I know…
Hello, today I want to talk about MySQL. This discussion requires some understanding of MySQL. Let’s discuss the optimization of NESTED SELECT statements. Consider this MySQL statement: SELECT name, (SELECT count(carts.product_id) FROM carts WHERE carts.product_id = products.id AND cart.date=’2015-01-01’) as count FROM products; I have a table for orders and carts and I want to find how many…
3D printers have become very popular in the last few years. I found out about them through a Kickstarter campaign about two years ago, and immediately wanted one. I’ve always been one to “tinker” with stuff; I used to take things apart just to figure out how they work. If I didn’t love web development,…
Here’s a fun little issue that didn’t take a newer developer more than 2.5 hours to figure out!
