I make websites (with WordPress) and write about it. Sometimes that's on my blog, and sometimes on the back inside cover of a worn-down copy of The Hobbit. Very focused on Gutenberg right now.

Other things I care about: self-directed education and secular homeschooling my five kids, going outdoors at least once a month, sleeping.

"True data liberation would be the ability to use core WordPress with your other software, keeping WordPress relevant, not trying to pretend like migrating content from Wix is what’s holding #WordPress back."

Market Share and Version Control - Brian Coords

Is WordPress getting too hard? Are the masses really leaving? How big is the moat that keeps WordPress safe? The same questions year after year. (I even found a post I wrote about it for MasterWP two years ago). That’s not to say they’re unimportant questions- in fact they’re probably more important than ever. WordPress […]

Excellent video from @briancoords on #WordPress dot-com (!) Studio that clarifies what it is and debunks what it is not.

It's kind of amazing that my terminal handles misspellings better than the Siri/spotlight search bar on my iPhone.

I need to migrate fediverse servers at some point and stuck between just doing a simple WordPress integration (not my favorite because I want to be able to follow people and browse on Ivory) or maybe join a WordPress-centric instance if there is one? Open to ideas!

5 Promising PRs - a WordPress 6.6 Wishlist - Brian Coords

Work on WordPress 6.6 is underway. If I’m being completely honest with you, I would love it if WordPress 6.6 introduced zero new features. I have not been shy about my desire for a cleanup-only release cycle (this tweet about it had 31k views). A maintenance-only release is an idea that originated with the project’s […]

Blocks in Menu's and new Block Bindings

It’s been a week! Sure, lots going on in the world of WordPress, but I’ve moved house and office this week. We wrapped up the big move yesterday evening and it fubared me so much that I was an hour early this morning for my weekly ​Scanfully​ standup with ​Barry​. It’s also the reason today’s […]
