    One of my colleagues, Álvaro, runs the site Gutenberg Plugin Review that’s worth bookmarking, and following, if you’re interested in the growing category of Gutenberg plugins.

  • Whale bones and shadows

    Whale bones and shadows

    We have a curious structure in one of our city parks that’s a little controversial. Some people really don’t like it, most aren’t sure what it’s supposed to represent. It appeals to me, although I can’t quite work out how to photograph it. I took advantage of a couple evening walks past the park to…

  • Revisit the history of WordPress with this awesome WordPress time machine

    One of my colleagues shared this awesome, interactive history of WordPress. I remember the first release version. There was something about it that I really liked, compared to the other options that were available at the time.

    Making the WordPress block editor even easier with preconfigured layout options that use standard Gutenberg blocks

    This definitely falls into the This is cool! category. The Gutenberg Blocks Design Library is an awesome plugin that used standard blocks to create a range of useful layouts. What’s great about this plugin is that it uses blocks that are part of the new WordPress Editor already, and combines them to create a collection…
