  2. Same here.
  3. This will be for an upcoming site. The first thing I did in Affinity Pro after buying the software two years ago was finally learning how to use it today

    I agree—goals should be achievable with a smaller amount of effort rather than so far-fetched that you burn yourself out trying to accomplish the impossible. A great way to set goals is by using the SMART method: Specific – The goal should be clear and well-defined. Instead of “I want to read more,” say, “I will read one book per month.” Measurable – You should be able to track progress. Instead of “I want to save money,” say, “I will save $50 from each paycheck.” Achievable – The goal should be challenging but possible. If you’ve never cooked before, aiming to become a gourmet chef in a month isn’t realistic, but cooking three homemade meals a week is. Relevant – The goal should align with your larger objectives. If your priority is getting better at public speaking, setting a goal to learn to code might not be relevant. Time-bound – Set a deadline or timeframe. Instead of “I want to get better at drawing,” say, “I will complete one sketch every week for the next six months.” That’s a great goal! Blogging every day for a year is a strong commitment to consistency and growth. What happened to all your old blog posts? People are missing out on really good content—posts packed with valuable and knowledgeable information. It’s a shame because those posts still have insights people could benefit from, but if they’re buried or gone, they’re not helping anyone. And, selfishly… I want them back! I haven’t been able to read through all of them yet, and I know I’m not the only one. Bring them back, reshare them, or make sure they’re easy to find—because great content deserves to be seen.
  5. I think allowing political discussions in forums is a terrible idea. It can lead to heated arguments and division, drive members away, and make moderation a lot more challenging. When my forum opens, I won’t allow political discussions

  9. The last domain I purchased was for a forum/blog I’m going to start. It’s going to be related to Asian culture and topics.

    You're a great parent! I'm sure your son will appreciate it very much. I just bought a julienne peeler myself—exciting stuff!
  11. Bloody hello, you want to insult someone without swearing? Just get creative—nothing stings more than a well-placed, polite-sounding jab. For example, 'Ah, your confidence is truly inspiring... shame about the accuracy.

    I've never really been a fan of theme parks. I can't stand roller coasters—they've just never been my thing. If I do end up going, I usually just stick to the kiddie rides. The big thrill rides don’t appeal to me at all.

    Thanks for the welcome! I don't have any online friends anymore, so there's no one to invite. Favorite game—Rocket League, but GeoGuessr is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
  14. Canva is free to use, but there are limitations without the premium version. The Pro plan costs $15 a month or $120 a year, so it's definitely cheaper than Photoshop—just by a bit. I’ve been using the premium version for free since about a month ago because my sister is an educator, and honestly, I’m never looking back!
  15. I used to use Photoshop a lot, especially for blending and graphic designs, but Canva is just so much easier! Its drag-and-drop features are super intuitive, and I can get things done much quicker. For anyone looking for a simple and fast tool without diving into complex settings or dealing with a steep learning curve, Canva is definitely the way to go.

    That's awesome! I can totally relate. I’ve never been part of any sports community either, but I found the forum on Admin Junkies.
