The way to make all conflicts worse
I have decided that all the world’s problems could be much worse. It goes without saying that the “I have decided” means that it’s true; for all people and all situations. Just accept it. Any problem can be made worse thus… KerPlunk! Pros: Cons: So there you have it. Can we all agree to disagree […]

The solution to all conflict
I have decided that all the world’s problems have a solution. It goes without saying that the “I have decided” means that it’s true; for all people and all situations. Let’s just agree with this, shall we? Any problem can be solved thus… KerPlunk! Pros: Cons: So there you have it. Can we all agree […]

WordPress in crisis, continued
I’m writing this on 9th October 2024 at a time when I think that the WordPress community is facing as big of a crisis as I can remember. Things happened on this day. The purpose of writing this is so that, in the future, I can look back and ponder about whether it got better […]

WordPress crisis
To say that the past 10 or so days in the WordPress space has been unprecedented, would be to be an enormous understatement. All that said, I’m listening and thinking about all the arguments from both sides. I suggest that you do too. I’m also not adding my voice to the social media storms, as […]

WordPress London Meetup, September 2024
Was lovely to attend my third #WPLDN (WordPress London Meetup) yesterday. Two great presentations, and no technical gremlins. This was a blessing, because in the hour before the attendees started to arrive, almost everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, and we had almost no expectation that things would work perfectly – but they […]

The last time
I’ve recently decided that I need to focus more on what matters to me. This is not from some conceit to gain more, or be more productive. It’s more about getting in touch with what really matters to me on a profound level. Finding meaning if you like. I feel like I’ve lost touch with […]

Working from home
I love working from home. There’s a few small things that are not ideal, but mostly it’s excellent. However, for a couple of weeks each summer it’s even better. That’s when Wimbledon – the tennis tournament – is on. I love watching tennis, and so I have it on another screen, with the volume set […]

My Facebook account got suspended
So just now, my Facebook account got suspended. Weird. I was not doing anything, was not even near a computer and none of the devices that I own have Facebook installed. I got this email: When I clicked on the only link in that email I got this: As you can see, all very satisfying […]

Page Builder Summit 7.0
So we just wound up the 7th edition of the Page Builder Summit, an online event for WordPress folk who enjoy working with tools like page builders, and want some help with various aspects of growing their businesses. It was a real success, and it’s a wonderful feeling interacting with the community there who seem […]

I made this site static
This site is using WordPress to create and manage the content, but I decided to experiment with exporting the entire site as a static site. This means that WordPress is ‘switched off’ and only the HTML, CSS, Javascript, and other required assets (images etc.) are available in the site. This means that it’s faster to […]
