Jan 8, 2019 at 12:04 comment added Mark Booth Thanks for your answer neuronet. I've edited it to be a little nicer, since we expect people to be as nice to themselves as we expect them to be to others. *8')

Tidied up unnecessary self deprecating language, to make it easier to see the answer.

Aug 31, 2016 at 18:34 comment added Chuck Once you solder devices onto the board, the impedances of those devices (filter capacitor, etc.) makes it really hard to determine if there's really a short between V+ and GND or similar. I would have saved weeks of my life if this had been my practice from the start.
Aug 31, 2016 at 18:32 comment added Chuck I'll add to your comment about testing for continuity - whenever you get a printed circuit board (PCB) that you ordered, BEFORE you solder anything to it, check continuity between power and ground, power and signal buses, ground and signal buses, and the individual lines in all the signal buses. Some manufacturers, cheap ones especially, may not etch the board correctly and this will bridge two buses together. Similarly, if your power, ground, or signal buses are very long (service a large number of components), spot check between the "source" and each device to check.
