Often it's unavoidable that we need to learn something new for a client project, but that can be a stressful way to learn, with your meal ticket depending upon it working out well and getting done on time.<br /><br />But it's important to keep expanding your skills, so here's my Suggestion of the Day. Once in a while, try something completely new to you. But don't do this on a client project if you can help it. Try the new thing on a low-pressure no no-pressure project, like one of your own web sites. It's usually fun to figure out how to do something entirely new to you when you can do it in "play mode" rather than "work mode".Patty Ayersnoreply@blogger.com
