Payload is one to watch in the headless CMS space — one of the few "truly" open source competitors to WordPress, and great paired with Astro.
Early look at 4.0: UI redesign, better DAM, AI tooling, TanStack support. Beta later this quarter.

Given how Astro works, would you actually want to use it for the kinds of projects you build?
This episode looks at when Astro makes sense — and when sticking with WordPress is still the right call.

What does working on an Astro site actually look like?
I demonstrate the full lifecycle — from source files to a live site — showing how pages are assembled ahead of time and how updates work.
If you are curious about Astro, this one’s for you.

I’ve been using Astro quietly for about a year and have seen it coming up more often in WordPress and agency conversations.
I put together a short video to frame what Astro actually is — and whether it’s worth a deeper look.

I'm excited to give this new @pinegrow feature a whirl. Using live data from WordPress instead of placeholders will save so much back & forth.
I am currently testing (what I feel is) a small revolution in #Pinegrow (desktop AND plugin) that concerns #WordPress #block and #theme creators. The #workflow is transcended by this new possibility which should receive a very warm welcome ... Stay tuned!
We are nearing the end of the Block Themes from Scratch Series, with Part 6 - Custom Post Types & Taxonomies. In this video, I provide an overview, show several ways to implement them, and wrap up by creating block templates for the post and archive.

I’m loving the new design of the WordPress developer documentation site. It’s so much more readable now!
Reading documentation like this is a pleasure. There is nothing more to say, just thank you. developer.wordpress.org/refe…

I've spent a few days with the Apple Vision Pro. It’s cool but nowhere near the hype- at least not yet. It’s an uncomfortable and expensive entertainment device with a lot of untapped potential. Watch the full review to learn more.

WordPress Child themes let you tweak your theme without modifying the whole theme package. This video explores what a child theme is, why you want to use one, and how to create one. I also give a few examples of overriding the parent theme settings.

The @VisorXR 4K headset is among the most promising upcoming devices, especially for travelers. What do you think about devices in this category and the new pricing model?

One week ago, I ordered an Apple Vision Pro. Even though similar devices have struggled, I think Apple is the company to usher in this new way of working.
What are your thoughts on Spatial Computing?

Moving a WordPress Block Theme from your development server to your production server is more complex than with classic themes. WordPress provides some tools to help, but there are some gotchas. This video shows what to do and what to look out for.

I’m looking forward to seeing how @justintadlock builds these patterns and blocks, especially some of the more challenging layouts.
Send me screenshots of your modern web layouts that you'd like to see built with the WordPress block editor.
I'll be running a Developer Hours session (link when finalized) on building various layout patterns. This could be fun. 😅

I’m loving all the new content @ShapesXR is posting to their YouTube channel. It’s nice to see a company serious about moving XR and spatial computing forward. Keep up the great work!
