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… Continue reading Dashboard Changelog

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… Continue reading Announcing Games Collector, a tabletop game management plugin for WordPress
Use Simple Page Builder to Add Unique Layouts to Content

Cat Signal update
I released an update to the Cat Signal plugin that fixes some issues that were introduced in the last update. If you’re using it, make sure you update before the campaign tomorrow.
CCG Manager
CCG Manager is a WordPress plugin to manage your Magic: the Gathering or other collectable card game cards. It’s also my 10th plugin on WordPress.org.
Progress Bar 1.1
A new version of my progress bar plugin is available. You can download it or follow the link to find out what’s new. I’ve added full documentation on the Progress Bar plugin microsite with examples of all the new shortcode parameters and options.
Developing for a greater cause
So, for a number of years, I’ve had a sort of rule: “don’t do work for free.” There are a number of caveats to this. Doing stuff for myself or my own projects would technically be working for free, but maybe I’m doing it to figure out how to do a new thing in WordPress or development… Continue reading Developing for a greater cause
