Deploying Your WordPress Theme with Github Actions
I’ve been on a couple of quests recently to use my iPad as my daily driver and to explore FSE theme building.. Both of those quests collided for me as I’ve been having trouble using the code editor apps that are available for iPadOS. Thankfully, the folks over at VSCode/Microsoft/GitHub have made a way for…

Failing To Get Started with the Theme.json
Alright.. Honest truth time. I failed at about everything I tried today to get started with the Theme.json file. So much so, that you wouldn’t want to watch a video of me fumbling through documentation, etc. I think that says a lot about the level of documentation that’s still needed for the average user. At…

On Taking Breaks
Over the last few months, I’ve really been enjoying the weekends. We’ve been doing a little bit of road trip traveling (I call it that because it’s something where we can visit <10 hours of drive time) and spending time at the cottage..

Stop Feeling Overwhelmed By Your Work
I used to feel completely overwhelmed each day. I was one of those that had a never-ending to-do list, that only got longer every meeting I attended. I can’t tell you the number of times that I ended the day feeling more overwhelmed with the amount of work that I had to do than when…
