Ranking For TV Episodes: How To Make A Living Writing About Reality TV
Recently I’ve been binge-watching Kitchen Nightmares on YouTube. It’s one of my favorite shows.

When I first started building websites, I was obsessed with emulating what the pros were doing. With good reason. I had learned early on that I had zero design instinct.
