If you have a site that uses Visual Composer, you’ll find that some links, particularly button links aren’t found when using some of the popular find & replace plug-ins like Velvet Blues.
If you look in the database, Visual Composer URLs are encoded. The Better Search and Replace plugin allows you to search for encoded URLs and replace them with encoded URLs.
And here’s a handy tool from Eric Meyer for encoding / decoding links:

So, this is a more scientific look at what the world would look like than what your average post-apocalyptic movie / show portrays. The world looks much more beautiful and happy without us.

It’s obviously best to avoid broken images at all costs as it hurts the user experience, SEO, layout, etc, but I found this CSS pseudo-element “loophole” interesting for those cases where you may have unpredictable missing images. For instance, when moving a site to a new server or for externally hosted images that are removed from the web.
Broken images are ugly. But they don’t always have to be. We can use CSS to apply styles to the element to provide a better experience than the default. Two Facts About The Element To understand how we can style broken images, there

As I started to listen to podcasts more recently in my freelance career, I’ve noticed a trend. Some podcasts have a Five Minute Friday where they freestyle about some random topic or list a few cool things they discovered or learned that week. Well, I’m not about to start podcasting anytime soon, but thought it might be interesting to do a blog version of that. So here goes–here are five things I discovered or found interesting this week.
I didn’t get a chance to put together any kind of top lists for 2015, but here are a few favorites and statistics relating to my life in 2015.
Interesting, but long article about Zappos CEO, Tony Hsieh attempting to revolutionize corporate structure and operations. I especially like the part about Lou Taylor Pucci filming a movie in his shanty town, er “Airstream Park”. I think he’s onto something with the idea of eliminating people managers, but I know it won’t work for everyone.
2014 was an OK year for music. Seeing Sondre Lerche in Chicago was fun. I was left craving more catchy, sing-along pop music for some reason at the end of the year. There was lots of focus on textures and qualities of the music more so than its actual content. Looking forward to what 2015 has to offer.
