  • I was on the WP Tavern podcast

    If you want to hear me talk about how great I think Composer is (and sound relatively intelligent doing so), check out the WP Tavern podcast episode I recorded a while ago which just went live. Thanks Nathan for having me on!

  • Dashboard Changelog

    Dashboard Changelog

    I recently moved my site to a new host. And I’ve also added my partner’s site to the WordPress multisite stack running this site and a number of others on this domain and chrisreynolds.io. Previously she was using WordPress.com, but was frustrated by a lack of adequate support and persistent caching bugs that even I…

  • New site, who dis?

    New site, who dis?

    Hi. It’s been a while since I wrote anything on here. It’s been a while since I’ve wanted to write something on here, and largely that’s been due to not being able to upload files in my previous site setup. There’s technical things underneath, but basically I was using a free developer environment on Pantheon…

    Announcing Games Collector, a tabletop game management plugin for WordPress

    I’ve been quietly building something under the radar for a couple weeks. It’s been really just a passion project that came out of a conversation after the holidays.

  • Code: Getting rid of the duplicate submenu with add_menu_page and add_submenu_page

    So  I ran across an issue today when creating a custom admin menu and submenu items. I wanted to have a submenu item in the menu that linked to the main admin menu page, but did not have the same anchor as the parent. I kept running into this:   You can see that, since I’m currently…

  • Progress Bar spotting in the wild

    Today I came across my progress bar plugin for WordPress on the Soccer Morning donations page. Soccer Morning is a daily soccer podcast focussing on American soccer (national team, MLS, American players abroad, etc). The cool thing is it’s something I’ve started listening to. Check it out. And while you’re there, make a donation to…

  • Do we really need comments anymore?

    Once upon a time, comments were king. The number of comments you got on a post not only represented the conversation surrounding that post but also measured its impact. This inevitably led to ways of gaming the system — spammers used comments to implant their backlinks to their black market viagra sites, and would-be and/or…
