Hi everyone,
Ah, yes. We’ve come to that time of the year where some team members might be going on holiday, or doing a rotation of being the main point person for holidays. Of course, it goes without saying, that for some sites all that will fall on one developer and for those of you who are working through the holidays, we raise a glass to all of you for your dedication. If you do need tips on managing your site during the holidays. you may find this post useful. Next week we’ll be compiling a ‘Best of the Quarter’ issue. We do hope you find that useful.
Wherever you find yourselves this holiday season, whether you’re working or enjoying a couple of days/hours away from work, we hope you’re all safe and healthy.
As always, if you have anything to contribute please email us at articles@phpweekly.com as we truly appreciate your feedback. Do follow us on our social media channels on Twitter and Facebook.
You can connect with me on LinkedIn:

All the best,
Adrian
