Coming out of hibernation and #WordPress burnout because this truly made me feel something that can be best described as hope. I absolutely love it.

@robertdevore.com can you follow me :-) Want to share some things with you!

So.. just so I understand.. classless CSS is what? That is just what us folks would call a "CSS Reset" but opinionated to style forms, typography etc? So it's basically "we hate tailwind, let's just go against it and call it Classless CSS". I'm lost 😅

Can't wait for this be released on Bluray!

I've been *super* excited by @felixarntz's work on the AI services plugin, and now I get to play with it and build stuff for it in this hackathon 😄️

Hope to see you there Nathan! I'll only be there from Sunday night to Tuesday morning this year. Hopefully enough for a little beer with you and @remkusdevries.com ;-)

408 – Bringing Bluesky and WordPress together with Daniel Post’s Autoblue plugin

In this episode, I interview Daniel Post about his WordPress plugin, Autoblue, designed to integrate Bluesky, a decentralised social network, with WordPress. Daniel shares his background in WordPress development, the

Ok, folks. The last time I asked you all for your favorite #WordPress plugins, the results were brilliant. I ended up writing 24 recommendations. ✍️

I want to continue this series. So I need your help again. Tell me about some nifty plugins, people might not know yet – but should.

Even more depressing is the most common defense that "he's just on the spectrum". Must be great for those who are neurodivergent to be portrayed like that.

Fantastic decision at this point. The less Automattic involvement the better. Truly a great way to start 2025 👌

When I read horrible articles like these about stuff I know a lot about, how wrong are they on stuff I know nothing about?

One of the coolest things is that you can use Livewire in WordPress using Acorn: github.com/roots/acorn. I wrote a blog about this a while back, but Livewire imo is a game changer to bring php devs back to front-end WP dev work. bowefrankema.nl/what-wordpre...

Decided to catch up on the #WordPress news a bit. Truly informative stuff, perfectly summarises the state of things. I'll check back in 2025 :-)

I agree 200%.

I just like the reduced urgency man. See some dad jokes from you, catch up on some WordPress news, the occasional funny post, it's how things used to be. It's enough for me to check Bluesky like once or twice a day 🕺

@matthewmedeiros.bsky.social can you follow me so I can DM you? 😎

My very first WordCamp ever, always will have a special place in my heart. Hope to attend again next year 🕺

So happy to be vibing here now. It's a good feeling to start fresh, reconnect with my fellow #WordPress people and seeing a feed of posts that make me happy instead of angry. I've missed this 🥹

It takes a bit of time, and for me it's been a process of first getting the muscle memory of opening Twitter out of my system. Lurking on Bluesky and slowly rebuilding my network. I'm actually really enjoying that. My favorite thing is the complete lack of rage bait so far 👌

I'd love to be included Paul, really trying to rebuild my network here, this is an amazing starter pack ☺️
