Don't repeat your mistakes. If you create new sites by first copying your old ones, you need to make sure you don't copy the mistakes too. As Blumey and I work with site designs, we occasionally encounter problems. I then fix them, and expect that future designs won't have that problem. Of course, it doesn't always work that way. Since Blumey's a designer, he starts with a vague idea of how he wants a site to look and sometimes a past design fits that idea. He'll then copy that site's code to modify. That's a great way to speed up the site design process. Unfortunately, sometimes he'll copy old designs that have the problems that were already fixed, and then he'll tell me it's broken. A typical exchange:
Blumey: "Jooon, this payday loan site is broken."
Jon: "Are you using the current version of the code?"
Blumey: "… Yes."
So I take a look at the site, and it's an old version of the code. I'll fix it and shoot a rubber band at him.
When you copy your old designs for new cash advance sites, make sure you update them with all of the latest fixes, or you'll keep running into the same problems over and over again.

To be fair to Blumey, when I do site designs, it ends up looking like Timmy from South Park did it.
