The ability to send emails in timed batches (for better deliverability) AND to be able to pause sending to make changes to the email is one of many killer features of Bento. Developer Jesse Hanley has made an amazing thing. bentonow.com

"So, if I don't like the block editor for developing pages, and I also don't like the block editor for writing. What's its purpose?" Thoughtful musings from @danmaby.com with a surprising outcome. www.danmaby.com/posts/2025/0...

A selector like :nth-of-type(odd) might look intimidating for anyone newer to CSS... but it's not that complicated and it's extremely powerful. In this week's video I show you how I used it to help refactor my client's page to make it unbreakable for their content editors! youtu.be/2oiTYXZZB_E?...

Raycast users - tell me why I should use Raycast over Alfred. I hear of many people ex-Alfred users telling me it was an instant switch, but I'm struggling to see the big draw.

Do you have any #WordPress news the community should know about? I don't usually do this, but I wondered if you've got some WP news that I might feature on 'This Week in WordPress' on Monday? If you do, please reply and I'll take a look. I'm unlikely to feature out-and-out promotional content! Thank

Even if you're a non-coder using a WP page builder, it definitely helps to know the basics of HTML and CSS. @kevinpowell.co's new course 'HTML & CSS for Absolute Beginners' looks fantastic. learn.kevinpowell.co

Why do YouTubers wear headphones when recording solo YouTube videos? I get why you might wear them on a live call. But if you're just recording a solo video... what are you listening to in your headphones? Your voice? Can you not hear that anyway? Genuinely interested!
