WordCampSofia was an absolute blast 💥 420+ attendees, 2 parallel tracks, 16 lectors, 1 panel discussion and 1 workshop! All that at the iconic National Palace of Culture! Big up to all of you attending, to our volunteers, lectors, sponsors and organisers!

I vibe coded this profile frame generator over the weekend and released it today as an open source plugin for WordPress. Suitable for any conference type of events this tool can straighten you community and bring more attendees! wcsof.velev.dev

WordCamp Sofia 2025 will happen this November at an iconic venue - the National Palace of Culture. Get your ticket today and come to celebrate our 15 anniversary 🥳 sofia.wordcamp.org/2025/

I was blocked on FB again (not sure why) and decided to write a block post about #telex by #automattic and share my early experience with it. Although it is a bit buggy overall I am very satisfied with the end result. Check my blog post and find more about Telex

🤖 #telex by #automattic is WILD! Build custom #WordPress blocks with AI to extend your site functionalities. Still a bit buddy but will definitely improve. I love how they implement the Playground into this new feature!

🇧🇬 WP Bulgaria is the work space on Slack where all local community members gather together to make WordPress even better! This work space is also a home of all Bulgarian WordCamps organisation teams who work hard to make them happen!

Very much enjoyed this podcast episode from my friends at Greyd (with @jessicalyschik.com with the one and only @mikemcalister.com on how to build products based on the Block & Site Editor of WordPress. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7QI...

WordPress 6.8 is finally here but as always I will wait until the first minor version is released. Did you guys already updated? https://wordpress.org/download/releases/6-8/

🔨 Finally!!! Announcing WordCamp Volunteer Badges on WP.org profiles! I’ve been waiting for this for years. What is a WordCamp without the volunteers? This recognition is quite too late but better late than never!

Join us in covering last week's in WordPress!

Wil definitely give it a try!

Reimagining Fluid Typography: "For many years, it has been a #CSS best practice to use relative units (especially em and rem) for sizing text. That’s great! But after playing around with my user preferences, I think we can improve on the common approaches."

There are indeed, not sure if it fits your needs @jeffr0.bsky.social but @nickdiego.com created a demo of his approach to this, you should be able to get the code from the github reference in this post nickdiego.com/enabling-lin...

I'm convinced you just need to do two things to market your web agency... 1. Show up. 2. Be helpful.

Just hit the “publish” button on a brand-new blog post! ⭐ This one shares the killer pattern I find myself using over and over with container queries: responding *within* media queries to adapt to the new container size. Once you start using this trick, you’ll see opportunities for it all over. 😄

I love the "modern" admin theme in WordPress and so I'll admit I'm excited about this recent issue that was just closed. Would love if they applied some of the other design tokens from Gutenberg (0 border radius, the typography, etc) into the rest of the admin. core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/62831

I feel your pain Brian! Thanks for sharing this simple but useful #WordPress snippet. This makes #Gutenberg columns stack correctly on mobile devices. #Elementor has this feature out of the box. It has to make its way into the Gutenberg core!

I like keeping my finger on the pulse of #Elementor and @matthewmedeiros.bsky.social has a nice summary on what they announced at “web.fwrd”. thewpminute.com/7-takeaways-... #WordPress #AI

Design plans for #WordPress 6.8 "The design focus will be on polish and fix, clearing ‘needs design feedback‘ issues." via @karmatosed.art make.wordpress.org/design/2025/...

Not a huge fan though, but I can not skip that: #Avada - a premium #WordPress theme just passed 1 million copies sold on #ThemeForest! That's a milestone to celebrate!

😮 So a while back, I shared my favourite icon package, Lucide. It’s a Feather fork, with *so many* icons (1500+). I just discovered Lucide Lab, a collection of 300+ more icons! It includes more-niche icons that may not be widely useful enough for the main package. github.com/lucide-icons...

Never deploy a #WordPress site with "Discourage Search Engines" accidentally checked again. Might not work for everyone, but I find it useful. #PHP Snippet:

Why I 🧡 the web. Site that can randomly take you to a "useless" website. This got the "Web 1.0" days vibes.. ...which i have to explain to my kids what 1.0 was like and they have to look at me like i am describing The Dark Ages. theuselessweb.com #oldschool #iAmOld

A sad day for the #WordPress project. Matching A8c's pledge with WPE's dooms WP to fail in the long term. I hope @automattic.com will reconsider their decision and take back again the leadership as they've always done in the past two decades!
