      Thanks! I know this isn’t the most exciting stuff, but will soon delve into deeper waters, and not just with WordPress – htaccess, PHP, jQuery, and even CSS ideas for the future. Just getting warmed up!

    Thanks for starting with the simple stuff! I can send clients here for a nice walkthrough reminder.

Went out walking today and soaked up some sunshine. It felt good.
I have an original box/packaging for 2010 iMac if anyone wants it free let me know.
Always ask AI to cite its sources.
All free plugins updated and ready for WP 6.6 dropping next week. Pro plugin updates in the works also complete :)
99% of video thumbnail/previews are pure cringe. Goofy faces = Clickbait.
RIP ICQ
Crazy that we’re almost halfway thru 2024.
