Hot on the heels of yesterday's post, I've now made all of this blog available in text-only mode. Simply append .txt to the URl of any page and you'll get back the contents in plain UTF-8 text. No formatting, no images (although you can see the alt text), no nothing! Front page https://shkspr.mobi/blog/.txt This blog […]
This is a silly idea. But it works. I saw Dan Q wondering about plaintext WordPress themes - so I made one. This is what this blog looks like using it: The Code You only need two files. An index.php and a style.css. The CSS file can be empty, but it needs to exist - […]
So, I built Siren's documentation portal, and the entire site is built using WordPress and the full-site editor. It's my first complete build using FSE, so I wrote up a reflection on it.

#WordPress#accessibility - if you're blind and want to go back to 90s technology, use #gutenberg editor's "move block" upwards or downwards key combination. ctrl-alt-shift-t for up, ctrl-alt-shift-y for down, well, screen reader won't tell you the block has been moved and you'll relive the 90s experience when you had to count button pressures to learn a remote control or cd player's usage. Moving block from toolbar is correctly notified instead. Hope it's fixed soon! https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/61168
We're looking for a new Wordpress developer at CoffeeGeek. Global location isn't important, but your skills, reliability, discretion and availability are.
We are looking for someone who
has a deep and full understanding of the entire Wordpress infrastructure, back end, multi-site usage, and all the associated coding, css, custom theme work etc.
Has a good knowledge and understanding of Elementor Pro. We use Elementor Pro and several plug in packages on CoffeeGeek, and have need of some custom work within Elementor.
working, day to day knowledge and experience with Cpanel, PHP and all the normal server-side stuff that comes along with Wordpress and managing a busy website.
The usual "back end" knowledge an experience in website management, including CDNs, site security, back up, etc.
Some SEO experience, the more the better (especially staying on top of current trends
Some design experience. This isn't crucial, as we have a WP / Elementor designer separate from our WP Developer position. But you knowing some ins and outs of basic design is beneficial
VERY IMPORTANT: Good availability. I don't expect turnaround in an hour after I send a job request, but responses within 24hr, and normal availability for several hours per week for maintenance / bug chasing (and also larger blocks of time for bigger projects) is expected and required.
VERY IMPORTANT: you have the ability and desire to make sure all the work you do for us is fully tested and bug checked before signing off on the work. We do have a dev server to test things on, but we will rely on you to deliver finished, generally bug free work.
Ideally, you are creative on the technical side, are good at hunting down bugs, innovative with fixes, and know how to get the most out of a Wordpress environment.
you don't have to love coffee, but it would not hurt your application process! :)
I am willing to pay a monthly retainer plus a preferred hourly rate (billed once a month / when tasks are completed and signed off) or a slightly higher straight hourly rate (no retainer) for your work, payment competitive in the US and Canada marketplace.
If interested, please DM me here with your email address, and I will send you more details and ask for your CV, examples of your work, and your company website information.
I am based in Canada, PDT time, and most of the work contact times would be between 1pm and 10pm PDT time.
At WordCamp Canada I'm going to be speaking on how to increase diversity in your project, company, and world. Yes, I am an old, white, American man. You should come watch. #WordPresshttps://canada.wordcamp.org/2024/
Today I spent several hours trying to help a friend think up ways to take control of the messaging for his dance organization. It's more or less just him running it at the moment but it's on the order of 100 people who are interested and sometimes come to his dance events. Right now it's communicating mostly through Facebook and Instagram. We talked about ways to make a website, forum, blog, sell subscriptions, calendaring 1/
It quickly became obvious how much "enclosure" there is in tech. You can't even add a webcal .ics file to your android calendar! (Not directly, requires login to desktop Google calendar). And you can't export a Google calendar as an ics! (At all). In any case lots of companies want to be the middleman in your business eventually taking a huge chunk of revenues for what is essentially a trivial service.
I would not be surprised if #Automattic (the company behind #WordPress) will shut down #Tumblr in five years, as the user base does not understand how much it costs to run a social network.
They want everything awesome for free, & that is unsustainable.
