I designed my business cards with CSS/HTML. Why? Well honestly, I can’t think of any reason other than “it seemed fun”. You can see it on CodePen.

See You at WordCamp US!
I’m going to be at WordCamp US this year. This conference is well-timed because I’m starting to think about finding freelance work for the upcoming Winter season. I haven’t seen anyone in-person in WordPress since 2019! I can’t wait to see y’all!

It would be so nice to have a basic microblog plugin/app that turned your WordPress site into a microblog using a custom post type. I haven’t tried because I don’t know how to make mobile apps.
Also, I’ve said “I wish I knew how to make mobile apps” one time too many. Perhaps this winter will be the time I finally learn React Native.

I Built an Indexing Platform For an External News Aggregation API
This was a fun, and challenging project that made extensive use of Underpin. It felt good to utilize the library in this context, and it was exciting to see it reliably work in-action.

This is a big deal for headless WordPress. I’m already using something that handles this on my site now, but something supported and maintained by a company like Automattic is significant.

I think I’d really benefit from some kind of media service that handles the photos and videos on my WordPress site. I need a more-reliable way to upload videos that auto-converts the videos, optimizes them, serves them, organizes them, and all of that fancy stuff. WordPress works, but it’s never really been a great media tool. Hmm.

I just wrote up the documentation for Underpin’s Array Helper methods and the Array Processor. I’ll probably work on the String helper methods next. But first, I’m going to get some shut-eye. So tired.
