    What does it feel like to be banned from WordPress? I’ll tell you

    Last Wednesday, a ban was lifted from my WordPress.org account that had been there since sometime in January (or possibly before). I discovered that I was banned on January 6th. I did not receive any communication, any notification, any reason for the block. I assumed it was a mistake. I wasn’t the only one. Many…

  • Community + Code

    Community + Code

    Sé Reed took this picture of my water bottle at PressConf. “That’s epic,” she said. I agree. I assume she saw in it the same thing I did when I found it — ourselves. The funny thing is, despite this sentiment being prevalent amonst those of us that have been in the WordPress community for…

  • The life of a developer

    Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. You have a broad plan. Say, you want to move your website to a new host. I’ve been running this site (which is a WordPress multisite that also includes my partner’s blog, the blog we originally created to share pictures of our kids, a personal portflolio-type site…

  • 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!

    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. Basically, we own a lot of games. Blame Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop for some of it, but, really, we’re frequently finding excuses to get new games. In fact, getting…

  • Hacking WordPress Search for Fun and Profit!

    I wrote a blog post for WebDevStudios that’s kind of based on my WordCamp SLC presentation I just gave. (You can also check out the slides for that, if you want.) Hacking WordPress Search for Fun and Profit!

  • The single greatest contribution to open source by WordPress is documentation

    I’m going to throw an idea out there, and that is that the single, most important contribution that WordPress has made to open source software as a whole is documentation. When I first started using WordPress 8 or so years ago, that was the biggest difference between WordPress and other platforms. You could search for…
