What time is it? It's time for a set of 10 super cool jQuery Time Picker plugins for your webpages! We see heaps of date pickers and calendar pickers out there but not so many time pickers, so it's about time we showed you some! Have fun!

Updated: March 24, 2016 Removed outdated, broken, or deprecated plugins. Refreshed the entire list based on current design trends and standards, including several new additions.

Looking for something simplistic? Inspired by Google Calendar, jquery.timepicker is a robust library designed to make time input as natural as possible.

Allow the user to type their time in free format or by adding a simple to use dropdown menu. Don't confuse this plugin with the first one on our list, it's an entirely different plugin with the same name!

WordPress Custom Post Types – Notices and Taxonomies

In my previous post, I introduced custom post types (CPT) and how to create one for your WordPress powered website.

We also took a look at how to customize the various UI labels of a custom post type to make it distinct from the native post and page post types. However, we didn’t cover how to customize the admin notices generated by them.

In this tutorial, I will be covering how to customize these notices and also how to register new taxonomies to a custom post type.

Is the Traditional Freelancing Advice Antiquated?

The freelance industry has grown substantially over the years, and has picked up serious momentum recently as people have begun to realize the benefits of a freelance lifestyle. For those freelancers who want to start or grow their practice, many of them seek advice from other freelance professionals, books, online articles, and courses.

These resources are great for learning some new skills or figuring out how to operate different parts of your business, especially when it comes to how much to charge, where to find clients, how to work with clients, and taxes — just to name a few.

However, there’s an entire body of knowledge around the business of freelancing that’s been around now for over a decade and has survived technology changes, social media, and an economic recession.

We are reading and learning from the same advice those who now have been freelancers for a decade have learned, even though the world around us has changed. Is it possible that some of the more traditional freelancing advice that we read and share with others is causing more harm than good?

I say yes.

As freelancing has become less of a small group of thousands of people and more of a common career path for millions, it’s time we start scrutinizing the freelancing advice, books, and articles written for freelancers to see if they are sharing antiquated knowledge.

While all of the books, articles, and advice from veteran freelancers are given often with the best intentions, I think we forget we learned that advice a long time ago, and we actually do different things now or would be doing different things if we were starting all over again. So why aren’t we giving new freelancers, or those who ask us for help, the right advice, instead of the typical advice?

We are essentially setting up new freelancers to fail with recycled, overused, worn out, tired advice that isn't really practical anymore.
