    One of my favorite tools for building websites, especially when on a tight budget is ACF, but it has its disadvantages. This blog post covers some of the pros and cons to using ACF for your site.

    MARKDOWN EDITORS – please stop auto-changing my list items from:

    1. Item 1
    1. Item 2
    1. Item 3

    to

    1. Item 1
    2. Item 2
    3. Item 3

    This doesn’t help, it just messes me up when I want to change the list order.

    Looking at you, @github and @phpstorm (with love!)

    If you have an affiliate program in the WordPress space, I wanna know about it. Especially if you have some creatives already put together. Shoot me a message or simply respond to this – I’ll look it over and will join if it’s a good fit. This includes if you sell courses!

    To people who leave dozens (hundreds?!) of open tabs open in their browser at all times…

    What on earth do you have open? How does this system even work?

    Nothing makes me happier than signing up for an Affiliate program, and seeing that they’re using @affwp. I’m always like “OKAY I know EXACTLY how this site’s affiliate program works”

    When you misclick “view post” and it hides the “view post” you just tried to click.

    If have a WordPress plugin, MAKE MORE BLOCKS.

    At minimum, any plugin that features a custom post type should have these two blocks:

    A block to query your content and display it on the site
    A block to display a single item

    Server-side rendered so I can override it.

    My favorite Chrome/Firefox extension. This extension scans the entire page for click-able elements, and when you hit “F” it will display a letter combo to “click” on anything on the page.

    Entire websites can be navigated 100% with a keyboard using this.
