I was discussing one click indieweb for WordPress with David Shanske on the IRC channel. The aim is to make it as easy as possible for a WordPress user – not a developer – to implement an indieweb site. I’ve decided to put it up as a brain dump. There are two aspects to consider: […]

calc isn’t a new feature, but at the time of writing MDN describes it as experimental: this technology’s specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers […]

I’m speaking at Web Directions Respond in March, come along. It features travelling guests Scott Jehl, Yesenia Perez-Cruz and Andrew Clarke, along with a bunch of local designers and developers. I attended the first Respond in 2014 and it changed the way I work.
