Yesterday I published an article as a follow up to my review of Bulma CSS v1.0.0. Here's the first article titled Bulma v1.0.0 is out: bloatware!! ... and the first follow up article titled Update on Bulma css v1.0.0. In the first article, I made it clear that I've had issues with Bulma CSS...
As an update: it's still bloatware and moreso than I originally thought. I accessed the "no-dark-theme" version. As in the previous article, it is much lighter and came in at 380Kb. But, and this is a big but, it does not match the functionality of version 0.9.4. All of the Helper functions are...

I've had a few emails asking how PHPMailer Pro's automated transportation type work. PHPMailer Pro defaults to using SMTP (un-authenticated). You do not have to specify the server or the port. Although you can specify those, PHPMailer Pro check MX records to identify the server. The port is a...
Let's clear up context before we start into this subject. Which to use? means: Which to use TO SEND emails ... if you are designing an application that includes receiving emails, this article is not for you. This is specifically about sending emails. The type of email you are sending is very...
A user contacted me asking for some help with using PHPMailer Pro in his unique circumstances. Using the latest version of PHPMailer Pro, he ran into a few issues. Getting him some help was no problem at all. I responded to all inquiries within minutes of receiving the emails. The support...
