   Glad you guys like the tips! As for nicknames, nothing wrong with them in general. I only mentioned it because of two specific edge cases that I think will make sense once I explain them: Example 1: A consonant-heavy, very difficult-to-spell Eastern European name used as a website URL from a non-clickable, non-copyable…

   On Portfolio tip #9: I never knew the name of Angkor Wat, I just figured people did it because UDK did it. Which is stupid because why would you want to make something similar to a example udk level, but worse.

   That's true, but there's a lot of crap on Themeforest, too. If you're unlucky, and pick the "wrong" theme, you can end up with ads that are impossible to get rid of, virtually no customer support if you want to make changes (if you don't know CSS, for example), and other issues. I've had some terrible experiences with…

   Yeah I thought my site was alright to navigate before until I looked at some other examples and they get straight to the art directly. I didn't consider the potential load time and everything else. Also yes Wix doesn't allow you to save images, it took me a while to figure that out. I wasn't aware that recruiters will be…
