Most of my web development work is done through WordPress. I’ve built hundreds of little WordPress plugins, and dozens of scratch-made sites. At this point, I’ve modified nearly every corner of WordPress at some point since I started using it in 2009.

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’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.
This post explores the details that went into into my personal content publishing platform for my site, as well as the other blogs that I run.

Everywhere I turn, it seems like another #WordPress person is rebuilding their website. It seems like the #TwitterMigration is really shaking things up.
If you’re at least mildly comfortable with using the command line, and you value customization and low-cost hosting options that you can scale to suit your needs, You’re going to want to check out SpinupWP.

I just realized that the Jetpack app supports group blocks(!)
This means that if I want to publish a thread, I can put each intended “post” in individual group inside a single WP post. That allows me to thread things, but also delineate between the items for threads on social.
It’s not quite as good as a native block, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. If only I could register my own block in the Jetpack app…sigh. I wish that was possible, because I could make a block that is such a better experience than what I have now.
Over the years, all of my authenticity has found itself on social media instead of my website. I think that sucks. Why should Elon freaking Musk get the most authentic version of me? Mark Zuckerburg? Or anyone else for that matter? Screw that noise. I’m publishing stuff on my website first.
My new site turns my personal website into a central hub, making it possible to view content I’ve published across the web. I’m so excited to finally have it up and running.
I had one of my clients come to me with a fun challenge. They wanted to be able to “flag” a post, and have that flag automatically disappear on the site after a certain period of time. This post explores how I solved that problem for them.
