Category: WordPress Resources

Hi! Perhaps you stumbled here while reading through posts I’ve written about WordPress but are confused by the rest of my content on this site. Never fear. If you’re solely looking for WordPress content, I recommend checking in on this category from time to time as I mostly share personal tidbits on this site. Bookmark it or whatever tools you might use and feel free to contact me if there’s some topic you want to hear more about. For context about my work, here’s my WordPress.org profile to learn more about how I work as a sponsored contributor to do what I can to give back to a community that’s given me so much.

So you want to talk about the Site Editor? Part IV

As a follow up to a few prior posts I’ve written, I wanted to share a much more contained, semi-6.2 related update as this marks a big step forward in the experience, resulting in the removal of the beta label. For completeness, here are the prior posts: So you want to talk about Full Site…
WordPress 6.2 Source of Truth

Since becoming a sponsored contributor in the wider WordPress community in 2020, I noticed the same problem repeating with each release: how can one get the most accurate information about the entirety of a release as quickly and painlessly as possible? I noticed it across both Automattic (where I work) and the community as teams…
Behind the scenes of creating art with WordPress

It’s been nearly a year since the launch of the Block Museum, a virtual art exhibit of art pieces made with different versions of WordPress. In that time span, three WordPress releases have come out with ever greater tools for creativity. Meanwhile, the Block Museum opened to submissions, introduced an interactive exhibit, and a few…
So you want to talk about FSE? Part III

Inspired by two prior posts I wrote, So you want to talk about Full Site Editing? and So you want to talk about FSE? 5.9 Edition, I wanted to offer a non-release specific update as I have found myself sharing the same resources repeatedly. As before, I recommend checking out the prior posts as I try as…
Leveling up YouTube videos with WordPress design tools

Over the last year or so, I’ve begun tinkering with sharing YouTube videos. I don’t fancy myself a YouTuber by any means but I have found that it’s an easier medium for me to share information than doing presentations. My introverted, anxious self loathes presentations but I find myself really getting into a flow state…
So you want to talk about FSE? 5.9 Edition

All the resources you need to speak about full site editing ahead of and after the WordPress 5.9 release.
Let’s chat about WordPress 6.0

I know, I know. WordPress 5.9 isn’t even out the door yet (coming to a site near you on January 25, 2022) but I’m already so excited for 6.0 thanks to the foundation 5.8 and 5.9 are bringing to the WordPress world for full site editing features. It’s wild to think about what will be…
Why I voted to delay WordPress 5.9

Thoughts on why I voted to delay WordPress 5.9.
Illuminating an exciting moment in time

I shared a version of this within Automattic, the company I work, and a colleague suggested that this would be helpful to have in the wider WordPress conversations so I thought I’d share here! This post won’t cover everything despite my best efforts but it will cover, at a high level, the basics of the…
Sharing Approaches for FSE Feature Adoption

While conversation continues around the WordPress’ full site editing project and the collection of features it brings, I’m increasingly getting questions around adoption. When should we adopt features? Do we have to adopt features? What would be easiest to start with if I’m not ready to leap fully into the block theme world? This post…
