I wrote an article on how I restored my WordPress editor setup after the 7.0 update changed several defaults. Shout out to @chriscoyier.net and his write-ip last week that helped me to piece together what happened and solutions to "restore." jeffbridgforth.com/wordpress-7-...

I am not a fan of the admin theme color (brighter blue) and the fonts and font sizes in the WP admin in 7.0. I have got to figure out how to override those with my own styles.

There are some really good links in this one. Several tools I am interested in trying out. Thanks Piccalilli.

I have felt so unmotivated lately to write. A combination of not sleeping well and allergies leaves me feeling physically tired. I had a strong case of the "don't"s yesterday. I finally finished my weeknote this morning after getting most of it done on Sunday. jeffbridgforth.com/weeknotes-ap...

Once again, I worked on a lot of smaller tasks this week in my day job. One of the tasks I addressed was font declarations in our stylesheet. I believe someone in the past had set up Sass variables fo...

These are exactly the types of things I wanted to learn about from this course. I knew @ishadeed.com was doing so clever things after watching his CSS Day talk from last summer. youtu.be/_njUxg5UfR0?...

Just had an "aha" moment with style container queries as I am working through The Layout Maestro. I now I understand why this can be a powerful tool when paired with custom properties and :has(). #CSSLayout #StyleContainerQueries @ishadeed.com thelayoutmaestro.com

I like how @ishadeed.com is using :has() to create conditional layouts. A very clever use of the selector that I had not thought about. Learn more in his course: thelayoutmaestro.com

I just updated my site with new color themes and sans-Sass. This has been brewing for a couple of months. I had time over the weekend to create a new CSS file and updated light/dark themes. Decided yesterday to also include "classic" theme (blue) which is my favorite color. jeffbridgforth.com

I miss all the April Fool's prank sites that people use to create. I had to always remember to be skeptical because I got fooled way too many times.

Brought up this article today during our discussion in Front End Study Hall. Just a reminder that the Web is a complex thing and there are no single "right" ways of doing things. piccalil.li/blog/if-it-w...

"Friction is essential to human work. Friction is what a sculptor feels when the chisel meets the stone. Friction is what turns a rough surface into something smooth and polished. The frictionless version of creative work isn’t faster creative work. It’s no creative work at all." That is gold.

I posted my first "weeknotes" seven years ago today. I had no idea that I would keep up the practice as long as I have and as frequently as I have in the past few years. jeffbridgforth.com/weeknotes-ma...
