An honor to speak at #UmbracoInTheCity today. What a fantastic event with many takeaways from talks!

If you missed me, I’m sharing the same talk at #umBristol on the 19th: meetu.ps/e/PCHTc/tTR8...
We have @joe.gl with their talk "v17 Editor experience: A {=template} for success", showing how the Editor experience is much improved in #Umbraco 17 and how developers can build on this and give a delightful Editor experience. #UmbracoInTheCity

So far I've received 11 submissions for this year's #HTMHellAdventCalendar. They look fantastic, but, you know, I need at least 24.

You can write about anything you want related to HTML. There's no “too basic”; we need more fundamental HTML knowledge out there because we suck at the basics. 1/2

I've been working on migrating #umbraco Rich Text Editor Macros to Blocks using #usync Migrations, here's how I did it:
https://joe.gl/ombek/blog/migrating-rte-macros/
Migrating RTE Macros
Modern Umbraco allows Blocks to be added inline in the Rich Text Editor. Umbraco 14 removes support for macros. This code sample will map macros to blocks with the help of uSync Migrations.

What we did in the first six months of our off-grid, barn conversion, self-build project.

It's a slow process (whilst working), but we're learning so much and having a lot of fun

I love how Trump waits for his caddie to toss the new ball on the ground before getting out of his cart so that he can pretend he just located it.

I missed an easier way to find #umbraco icons, than opening up the content type editor inside the backoffice. So a little vibing, and voila: skttl.github.io/umbraco-icon...
It fetches the icons from github when you load it, so it should always be up to date.
