  • A little underrated thing about #WordPress block editor that I like: Drag a screenshot on my Mac into the browserā€¦ drag into my post and seeing the ā€œinsert lineā€ where it will land. Done. No clicks, media gallery, or modals.

  • Iā€™m not in the news industry but as a #WordPress user whoā€™s heard @photomatt and other folks talk about Newspack from @automattic, I find this interesting to follow what happens (perhaps not apples to apples though). twitter.com/froomkin/statuā€¦

  • TIL that a plugin exists that allows one to sell Shopify products on their #WordPress site. wpshop.io

  • @walterebert @hgg Thanks! Yeah not a new idea – hosting companies and others have provided templates and plugin installed by you answering a few questions, but a customized full site #WordPress theme – brand new in of itself I can see happening. Soon.

  • Iā€™ve talked about #WordPress ā€œauto generatingā€ (full site) templates before. And with talk of AI stuff lately I thought i bring this up: https://durable.co/ai-website-builder builds a website in a minute with OpenAI, Unsplash, and Durable. Did color theme, proposal, services, lead capture form, design from just asking me business type and name. It some things…

  • With recent talk about AI and ChatGPT, etc. I see questions about how #WordPress and code developers might think this might replace some jobs. I’m not concerned but I think we’re closer to what I mentioned here, and it’s just a question of who does this first and markets it well. twitter.com/dimensionmediaā€¦

  • @kenguest Iā€™m involved with plug-ins that have at least tens of thousands of installs so I try to stay reasonably on the cutting edge. 8.0 is the new normal but Iā€™m switching to 8.1 starting now occasionally. But you are correct, #WordPress not fully compatible but good to be ready.

  • ChatGPT Creates a Working #WordPress Plugin ā€“ On the First Try (via @sarahgooding) https://wptavern.com/chatgpt-creates-a-working-wordpress-plugin-on-the-first-try — Trying to limit talk on this because i'm getting tired of it already but it's WP related.

  • @rgulick The adult side of me likes ther term "post" too. Tumblr has "posts" in that defense. I just know "posts" more than the general term (because with #WordPress it's literally in the database). Note to self: if i create a social network, establish a term from the beginning and make it neutral.
