    I’ve been using Rocket.net for my hosting lately, and I’ve been really loving their support and setup in-general. Been moving most of my clients over to it just because it’s been rock-solid.

    Are you a Problem Solver, or Solution Creator?

    There’s a big difference between being a problem solver and being a solution creator—and most people get it wrong.

    If you’ve worked with someone who has experience building sites using Elementor, and you’ve had a good experience working with them, please recommend them below.

    I think I just found my winter break project. I have a collection of plugins on my site that handles syndication. Would be really nice to bundle it up in a PHPNomad Package. Looks like Bluesky really easy to set up.

    Dear managed WordPress companies.

    I choose you because when I have a problem, I can send a message in chat and promptly receive a human expert who can solve my problem quickly.

    I do not want an AI gatekeeper. Any step you add to slow me down hurts what I value most from you.

    Please stop.

    I Talked About Siren, and Business on Manana No Mas

    I hopped on Kurt’s podcast, and talked about Siren, business, and just in-general where my head is at after leaving GoDaddy earlier this year.

    I’ve successfully managed to put together a pretty darn good MVC framework with PHPNomad, with the help of a few platform-agnostic PHP libaries. I got Siren to run on it, too! Over a weekend I was able to make a WordPress plugin built with PHPNomad run on its own server, completely outside of WordPress. It went well enough that I bet most plugins that are built with PHPNomad it could run on a microservice that doesn’t depend on WordPress at all in a month or two.

    Oh so the new flavors of WordPress will use different plugin repositories. Got it.

    You know it’s bad when I’m turning to my personal Facebook feed because it’s literally the only place that isn’t drowning in WordPress.

    Funny how I escaped from that drivel to WordPress, and now it feels like a sort of online sanctuary right now. Life is funny.
