    From one of WP Dev Academy’s members, @Codebrother1 sayin’ some nice things:

    “I’ve been on a lonely Island trying to predict the future of WordPress”

    “Having access to Alex and his trove of knowledge is worth the ticket price.”

    I’m excited about webp because now that it’s in core all hosts will (hopefully) update their configurations to actually support it.

    I’ve been using webp converters for a while and it has always been a hassle getting web hosts to support them.

    My favorite thing about Taos is that I’m one “c” away from tacos.

    You can’t spell tacos without Taos, and I love both of them. Coincidence? I think not.

    So erm, we’re talking about permanently affixing the camper to this spot and building a house around it.

    It probably wouldn’t be our “forever home”, but it would be an inexpensive way to make living here during the winter possible. Maybe even (dare I say it) comfortable.

    Are there any Composer buffs out there who can help me with this Underpin issue? I’d love to get Underpin working with Mozart, but can’t for the life of me figure it out.

    I’ve been writing a lot lately, working to get the content calendar ahead so I can focus on the next course.

    A lot of the content talks about Underpin at least a little bit. The funny thing is, it’s causing me to open discover opportunities to improve the framework.

    I think I’d you’re building a site that’s only using WordPress, making it headless for the sake of being headless is not a great idea. Lots of extra work, and overhead.

    I present the case for “nearly headless”, using @Alpine_JS

    Just found out Taos Ski Valley has a disc golf course 😍

    I think the best way to approach WordPress blocks is in a plugin, not a theme. This allows you to re-use the blocks even when your theme changes. Then you can just re-style the blocks that are already in your content.

    Here’s how I approach that.
