Most of my web development work is done through WordPress. I’ve built hundreds of little WordPress plugins, and dozens of scratch-made sites. At this point, I’ve modified nearly every corner of WordPress at some point since I started using it in 2009.

    Does anyone know of a WordPress plugin that will automatically publish a clone of a specified WordPress post on a schedule?

    I’ve been using Rocket.net for my hosting lately, and I’ve been really loving their support and setup in-general. Been moving most of my clients over to it just because it’s been rock-solid.

    Are you a Problem Solver, or Solution Creator?

    There’s a big difference between being a problem solver and being a solution creator—and most people get it wrong.

    If you’ve worked with someone who has experience building sites using Elementor, and you’ve had a good experience working with them, please recommend them below.

    I think I just found my winter break project. I have a collection of plugins on my site that handles syndication. Would be really nice to bundle it up in a PHPNomad Package. Looks like Bluesky really easy to set up.

    Dear managed WordPress companies.

    I choose you because when I have a problem, I can send a message in chat and promptly receive a human expert who can solve my problem quickly.

    I do not want an AI gatekeeper. Any step you add to slow me down hurts what I value most from you.

    Please stop.

    I Talked About Siren, and Business on Manana No Mas

    I hopped on Kurt’s podcast, and talked about Siren, business, and just in-general where my head is at after leaving GoDaddy earlier this year.

    I’ve successfully managed to put together a pretty darn good MVC framework with PHPNomad, with the help of a few platform-agnostic PHP libaries. I got Siren to run on it, too! Over a weekend I was able to make a WordPress plugin built with PHPNomad run on its own server, completely outside of WordPress. It went well enough that I bet most plugins that are built with PHPNomad it could run on a microservice that doesn’t depend on WordPress at all in a month or two.

    Oh so the new flavors of WordPress will use different plugin repositories. Got it.
