Gutenberg test, a simple FAQ block
This is my first attempt at a Gutenberg block. I’m building this looking at / copying nylen’s Gutenberg examples plugin. Mine is named “Gutenbergerli” because this will be wonderful for a few hours then it’ll go stale, just like Luxemburgerli which are some of the best things ever for a time, at least.

scraping http POST requests with golang
One of the #enumerateallthethings projects in Go. PostScrape lets you scrape targeted html nodes in enumerateable http POST requests. It uses goquery for the targeting.

How does WordPress know if a pending post hasn’t been published yet?
If WordPress has a newly created pending post, when you publish it the timestamp on the post is set at the time of publishing. If you publish a post, then set the post status to pending, the timestamp does not update when you re-publish it. How does it know? And why does it matter?

So what’s the difference between WordPress filters and hooks?
Understanding what filters and actions do took me forever, ok, maybe not but longer than I’d care to admit at any rate. It wasn’t the fault of the resources I found, it was just that I couldn’t get my head around it. But one day, PING! I got it. Here is how I understand them.…
