I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

65 I think!

Hi there! We've got some retainer client slot openings this year for a few hours a month. Do you or someone you know have need of a few hours a month of a WordPress expert's time? Get in touch! We'd love to talk.

We've been busy bees over at the studio this year so far. So far we've got two new author websites under development, but there's time on our schedule for more in 2025. Do you need help with your WordPress website, or a brand new site? Drop us a line via our website! www.clockpunkstudios.com

Happy New Years to all! May 2025 be all you hope for. And if you're hoping for a new website, you know who to contact 😜

Happy holidays from Clockpunk Studios! We'll have limited availability from December 23 to January 2nd while we take some time to spend with our families. We'll continue maintenance and monitoring of all client sites, however, so rest easy! See you in 2025!

Here's a reddit thread that discusses it: www.reddit.com/r/BlueskySoc...

They have not made the process simple to understand. My limited understanding is you have to do subdomains, so it would be like @patrick.nielsenhayden.com and @teresa.nielsenhayden.com. Your TXT records at the registrar would be created for _atproto.patrick and _atproto.teresa.

We are on the hunt for more retainer clients in 2025 and beyond. If you know of a company or person that needs a WordPress / Woocommerce expert on an ongoing basis, drop us a line.

That is an incredibly respectable word count for the month!

Need something to hide in, over the T'giving holiday*? I've put a few of my favorite projects on sale for $2.99! (digital only) No need to sit and listen to your relatives argue — escape to a spare room and read!

*or, for those outside the US, hiding from the news in general.

A common question we get: "Why do I need a website when I have social media?" The answer: you own your website. You don't own your social media. For reference, see Musk's claim that actually, he owns everyone's Twitter accounts.
Own your platform via a website. Everything else is renting attention

It's such a hassle when that happens. Our sympathies.

We'd be happy to help - probably a custom widget would be the easiest thing. drop me a note at studio@clockpunkstudios.com if you're interested.

Mostly we hope to use this site to share important news about web-related topics for our clients, potential clients, and just interested folks. Topics will include what we're working on, cool new tech we think will help our client's sites (that isn't soul-sucking AI!), and especially WordPress news

I've personally been on Bluesky for over a year, but I think it's time that my business persona make an appearance here. Hi everybody!
