Teaching online shouldn’t feel like wrestling with software, yet that’s what many WordPress LMS plugins make you do. It’s often not entirely their fault, though. After all, transforming WordPress into a full-featured LMS is a significant challenge, and it’s difficult to keep things intuitive while making a lot of functionality possible.
The latest advancements in AI art have taken over the internet. It seems like many people are enjoying the ability to instantly make their vision come to life. One thing that hasn’t gotten as much attention is that you can take AI-generated images (or any images for that matter) and transform them into videos. In this quick guide, I’m going to show you just how you can do it.
During the last week of March, nearly 30 WordPress core committers, project leaders, and team members gathered to discuss WordPress’ release schedule. According to the meeting notes, the conversation was prompted by organizations reducing their contribution hours to the WordPress project. Ultimately, project leadership decided that WordPress 6.8 will be the only major release of 2025. In this post, we’ll talk about what the implications of this are for your site(s) and how you can stay up to date in this new once-per-year world.

Back in 2018 I spent some time in the city of Mitaka – which happens to be where the Ghibli Museum is located. I walked by it several times a week and have fond memories from there. When the internet became flooded with Ghibli style art last week after OpenAI released their newest AI image generator, my reaction was probably more visceral than most people’s. After spending some time Ghibli-ficating myself, reading others’ opinions, and having a few days to reflect on it all, here are my thoughts.
Most WordPress theme lists bore me. So I made one that’s actually useful. This post covers 15+ WordPress themes that real users love, backed by solid ratings, and good numbers of “active installations.” I picked only themes people genuinely like, not just ones that look good on demos.
If you have a static WordPress site or you’re strongly considering launching one, then you’re probably already aware of its default limitations. One of the big ones is the inability to add a search function to your site. But with a little bit of creative thinking, you can use a free, open-source JavaScript library called Lunr (along with a few other tools) to get around that problem and build one anyway. Here’s how…
Static WordPress sites have a lot of advantages over more traditional WordPress projects. In most cases they are cheaper, faster, and more secure. However, one big drawback is that you can’t use contact forms on your pages or posts by default. In this guide I’m going to show you a free solution to get around this problem.
I know what you’re probably thinking – there’s a catch. Well, there IS. But it’s not some special promo rate or a first-year deal. The catch is that this solution requires more effort to pull off compared to signing up for a shared hosting plan with pre-installed WordPress. What I’m going to teach you is how to build a WordPress site on your computer using Local by Flywheel. Then you’re going to convert that site to a static version, deploy it Cloudflare Pages, and maintain it using GitHub and some code. It’s ambitious, but worth it.
