The official Font Awesome Figma plugin gives easy access to the icons in vector format. Really nice. I prefer to use the font itself: you need to install the desktop files, then use the Figma Desktop app to access them. Now I'm loving this app!

Quirky thing happening when placing a head inside a Kadence Text (Adv) block with a background color. Displays ok on back-end with a color in Global Palette. But not displaying when using a color added to palette in block controls area. Have to edit via color picker, then insert desired hex code.

Hey Mike, I just published a post about the Gallery block, comparing it to the Kadence Gallery (Adv) block. Check it out:

The std. block lightbox feature needs navigation, which is due to be released with WP 6.9.

Local by Flywheel's SSL certificate is a pain on a Mac. Usually I ignore it, but today tried to follow the complex instrux. Ridiculously difficult. Can't even find the Keychain app. Not worth the effort!

Got a notice today that these 2 font families are expiring soon. Interesting! If fonts haven't been used in a while (150 days), they'll automatically be deactivated to keep apps running smoothly. All righty then!

Kadence theme submit button not displaying correctly when set to "auto" width. It goes full width instead. May be a bug with WordPress 6.8.1. Anyone have the inside scoop? :-)

Working on a #WordPress site with a block theme. Client wants to change the font for a subhd. Keeping in mind what would be best for client when they take the reins for updates, which choice do you make for styling?

Dashicons has been the official icon font in WordPress for many yrs. + loads automatically in the admin. dashboard. To use them on a site's front-end, you must load them manually with an enqueue code in functions.php. Good instrux. here: www.liquidweb.com/blog/wp-dash...

Wednesday was my 1st plein air of the year! Met art peeps at Boston Public Garden. After a leisurely scoping loop, I settled on this iconic scene with the Yoshino Cherry tree next to the Swan Boats. Will make a few tweaks and call it done.

"If a link only contains an anchor (like #section), the browser tries to scroll to an element with that ID on the current page. But if that ID doesn't exist on the page, nothing will happen when users click the link. To avoid this, always use the full URL, including the anchor." Thnx #KadenceWP!

New tiling feature in Mac OS Sequoia v13.3.2 was driving me crazy: whenever I dragged a window, it would expand to full screen. Solution = turn it OFF:
System Settings -> Desktop & Dock -> Drag windows to screen edges to tile
