33 themes updated for WordPress 7.1
Time flies, doesn’t it? It feels like it wasn’t that long ago that I updated all of my themes to remove the Google Fonts connection. Turns out it was over four years ago. WordPress.org adds a notice to themes that haven’t been updated in two years and hides them from search…

Resurrecting an old side project with Spacefast and Claude
Automattic recently launched a new service: Spacefast, a host specifically geared towards publishing sites generated with AI. I’ve been tinkering with AI chatbots for smaller design and development tasks, including for updates to my older free WordPress themes, but I’d never…

I reviewed all of my gear
Near the end of winter, I got the itch to write more again. It happens every twelve months or so. Around that time, I stumbled on a personal blog with a review section. I lost the link, sadly. (Thanks to Jano for pointing out that it’s Paul Stamatious site that I found!) The…

Replacing iA Writer with Obsidian
I used iA Writer for the very first time on December 19, 2013. I know this because that’s the datestamp of the document that sits at the bottom of my iA Writer file list. In the years since, I’ve used the app to write almost everything, across three years of university studies,…

My favorite books on graphic design
Ever since me and Rebecka moved to the Swedish mountains back in 2023, my small collection of books about graphic design and web development have gathered dust in moving boxes in the garage. A couple of weeks ago, they finally got to see the light of day again after I got a new…

How I built my Pulitzer WordPress theme in a weekend
Last year, I spent a weekend building my WordPress theme Pulitzer while documenting the whole process in a thread on Twitter. Since then, Twitter has become a hellish nightmare place that I want nothing to do with, so in January this year, I deleted my account and moved over to…
