I remember first reading about WordPress in a computer magazine (print!) in 2004. I was building with CMSmadeSimple at the time and I immediately thought I need to keep an eye on this one. Nine years later we met in London. What a ride it has been! Hope you're proud, mate. ❤️

Glad to have met you and worked with you. ❤

Mike, you changed the trajectory of my life with your work. I can't put into words what that means to me. So take this instead: Thank you.

Thank you, @MikeLittleZed1. How it all started:

Thank you Mike! And why have i never realized until now what a soothing voice you have?

Mike Little3 years ago

Ha! 😆 People have said this before and that I should do podcasts or bedtime stories!

Thanks, Mike for that comment 20 years ago. Since then so many lives have changed.

It's impressive how modern WordPress can look if you remove the Admin Menu and Top Bar. Inspired by the new shadcn sidebar release, I decided to extend #WordPress to use that new sidebar solution as opposed to the current one. This is WordPress core, just without the old Admin Menu and Top Bar, and the background set to be white, not the current grey. Feels like a brand new platform!

I found a plugin to build programmatic SEO sites in WordPress using the block editor! This method is MUCH more "programmatic". It's also 100x faster than WP All Import. Here's a video explaining the plugin + how it works (plugin link in the thread):
