WordPress 7.1, PressConf EU, OpenStation, and a little bit of Gindermania II, and more!
The release of WordPress 7.1 is happening any moment now, so now is the time to familiarize yourself with what 7.1 enables us to do. WordPress 7.1 expands block styling with responsive and interactive (hover/focus) controls, no custom CSS needed, and carries your color scheme and toolbar across the admin. Media tools are smoother too:…

Gindermania, Troy, Albert, WP.md, Cortex, and PressWord.Games
So, yeah… it’s been a while, hasn’t it? I went from an intended 2-week break because of continuous travel to a little while longer without any newsletter. I’ve been plenty busy, though, but I guess I needed a little break 😓. But… I’m back. And on a Wednesday, no less. I’ll stick to this day…

Announcing the Guild, Studio Code, Query Monitor 4, WP Beacon and more!
So, wow, where did the month of April go, huh? It’s been a crazy busy one. From road-tripping from NYC to PressConf in Phoenix to driving to Checkout Summit in Sicily, Italy. It’s been a lot of travel, but also countless great conversations

Custom Database Tables in WordPress, and when to use them . And, with well over… -
Free Block Theme Course, Woo Blueprints + View Transitions plugin
So… my biggest goal for this newsletter today is to not have typos, missing links, and leftover newsletter template sections 😅.

Within WordPress – Selective Speculative Loading, ThemeSwitcher, and Composable WordPress
It’s been two weeks without an edition of the Within WordPress newsletter. It has also been one week since I gave my talk at PressConf in Tempe, Arizona. And yes, these two facts are related 😅. I had planned to do at least one, but things just went differently. I’ve given the most raw and…
