Our founder, Ken Young joined @nathanwrigley.com on WP Builds to talk about why automation belongs inside your WordPress site, and what changes when you can build pages and recipes just by asking. #WordPress #Automation #AI wpbuilds.com/2026/10/22/4...

486 – Unlocking WordPress automations with Uncanny Automator Today we're focused on the evolution of Uncanny Automator, a WordPress plugin enabling users to build custom automations within their sites. We get into the challenges of bespoke integrations, the advantages wpbuilds.com/2026/10/22/4...

I don't have an answer, but yesterday made me question if we need to re-think what tools we can allow to be publically available. I'm not allowed to distribute medicine; that would be silly. But for a few $ I can rent AI and waste millions of people's time, sanity and money!

Black Friday is a difficult time for WordPress companies to stand out. Two companies have already picked up one of the WP Builds 'pride of place' Black Friday Page spots. Looks good. Thanks Novamira and @wsform.com - Join them: wpbuilds.com/black-friday...

I have, somewhat unexpectedly, got some availability to record some WP Tavern Jukebox podcast episodes in the near future. If anyone has WordPressy things to discuss, please DM me, and we'll take it from there. Thank you so much.

Let's all assume that this was written by a person, and I think that it might have been (for various reasons), what a nice way to start the week!!! #podcast #podcasting #podcaster @show.fm

Best email ever...

Note to self: there is no perfect web browser. You like bits of them all, but wasting hours every week on trying them all out over and over again is not good for you, or the sanity of your family, they just don't care! The one you usually use is fine.

A few weeks ago my kids went camping and left my power bank on the roof of the car when they left. It was gone, I was feeling drained. This morning a gift arrived from @kinsta.com! It was so welcome, now I'm powered up again! #truestory #serendipity @wpldn.uk Thank you!

Very exciting for me... 1st time I've deployed the show.fm podcast player on my own site. I like it. There's a bigger version, but I like this narrow one!

It's been a WHILE, but 'This Week in WordPress' is back. In about 2 hours you can join me and @steveburge.com @rhys.wales @raquelkarina.bsky.social as we talk about the WordPressy things that have been happening! wpbuilds.com/live #TWiW

Podcasting can be a lonely business, but not if your team joins you! show .fm allows you to create teams and they can participate in the episodes you create. Much better. Much more social !

Today at 4 PM UK time I'll be joining @danmaby.com live to discuss #podcasting, and show you a tiny part of the show.fm app. Oh, and it's International Podcast Day. (11AM ET / 8 AM PT / 5 PM CEST) Watch live: show.fm/live #podcast #celebrate #live

Deleting a Facebook group I once loved: WP Builds. Since 2016, I have been making a podcast about WordPress. It's called WP Builds. It became, and still is, at the centre of what I do.... https://nathanwrigley.com/2026/09/28/deleting-a-facebook-group-i-once-loved-wp-builds/

WordCamp Asia 2027 is inviting volunteers to join its team in Penang. If you're thinking of going, it might be worth a look.

Introducing show.fm – something for podcasters, and a journey for me I've been making podcasts for over a decade now, and have roughly 1,200 episodes recorded across a variety of shows.... https://nathanwrigley.com/2026/09/25/introducing-show-fm-something-for-podcasters-and-a-journey-for-me/

Well, I've never seen this image before. Apparently it's a classic. I love it.

Just so that you know, the WP Builds podcast and our This Week in WordPress show is on a break until early October so that I can concentrate upon the new show.fm #podcast app! #showdotfm. If you're up for exploring our "founders" offer head here:

I posted a photo I took the other week and some of you seemed to like it, so here we are again...

Have a podcast? Want to start one? The show.fm 'Founders' offer is three years of our Studio plan. It includes podcast hosting, analytics, and some AI tools for managing episodes. There's way more as well. We'd rather be funded by 100 podcasters than one investor. show.fm/founders

WordPress introduces Ipsum, the new default theme (possibly). I like it!

If you join us on show.fm early, you'll bag a shiny, short URL for your podcast, like this one - wpbuilds.show.fm, oh and it looks nice too!!!

A British icon... oh and there's Whitby Abbey in the background as well! @tna.sh

Brilliantly written piece about how AI advancements in mathematics might not align with human goals. I think we're going to hear the word 'alignment' a LOT more in the months to come. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a...

#233 – Chris Reynolds on Building Trust With Project Contracts for Reliable AI Development wptavern.com/podcast/233-...

Holy moly. I've just realised that, for all these years, books have been stealing the same 3D animation which Apple just invented for their Duo iPhone. It's an outrage.
