Me: what would make this blog post with tons of images nicer, Kate?
Kate: They all need to be grouped up in a carousel, like Instagram
Me: gaaaaah I knew you were gonna say that!
And that’s why I spent the last hour turning the gallery blocks on Casual Weirdness and my personal site into galleries. Which, honestly, was pretty easy because React.

I’m going back and finding content created by me that is published on other sites, and duplicating it on my site. I stumbled on this 3-part series I did just before I got hired at GoDaddy.
It’s all about how I switched from using ACF and the classic editor to a full site block editing experience, and includes some samples of the tooling I used at the time. There’s some good info in here, particularly about my process.

I updated my RSS feeds so that you can filter content by tag. So if you only want to follow a specific topic of mine, you can simply append ?tag=tag-name at the end of any of my RSS URLs, and it will only show content with that tag.
Example: https://www.alexstandiford.com/rss.xml?tag=WordPress
Eventually, I’ll actually embed this into the interface to make it a little easier to use, but for now this will do just fine ????.

I’m thrilled to see that Automattic is backing the ActivityPub plugin! This is a big deal for WordPress and it’s future, and it gladdens me to see heavy hitters like A8C contributing to something as important as this.

I got my Tiny Shiny Home hat today! I’m a huge fan of their content and picked up a hat during one of their livestreams earlier this year.

So this week, we happen to be parked somewhere that’s close-enough to a family member that they were able to come out and park beside us for a few days. I’m so happy to see a familiar face!
That’s one thing I didn’t expect about travel – I always thought I was basically saying “bye” to everyone for years on end, but it hasn’t played out like that. We get to see family a few times a year.

Everywhere I turn, it seems like another #WordPress person is rebuilding their website. It seems like the #TwitterMigration is really shaking things up.

So last night, I did a thing to website. If you’re on desktop, do not click on the clock button in the top-right corner. Things get weird.

Bear Ghost is an adventurous rock band out of Phoenix. I discovered them through a Slack channel when someone recommended them. They have somewhat silly subject matters in their music, but it’s always fun, unique, and never lacking in good instrumentation.
Give ’em a listen sometime.
