November 17, 2022 — Global warming, we hear about it every day: travel less, eat less meat, insulate our homes, … we all know that. But seldom do we hear about the growing impact of the internet and tech in general on climate change: it consumes a lot of electricity and the usage is growing rapidly. Since we’re building the internet, our choices can make a difference. I built globalwarning.blog around this using WordPress. This blog has a tiny carbon footprint with only about 30 KB per page load, and it shows what is practically possible using WordPress. I believe that we can make a big difference by spreading the word and leading by example within, around and outside of WordPress.
I hope to give a look at the big picture and practical tips on what you can do to optimise your website and your digital footprint.

April 2, 2018 — The Customizer is a great tool to live preview changes to a WordPress site. And it is becoming even more: what about a staging environment or a real WYSIWYG experience for editing content?
It is time to benefit from what the Customizer has to offer. In this presentation I will try to give some examples of how you as a web developer as well as your client or user can take advantage from well-known and less well-known features of the Customizer. You can offer your users/clients controlled flexibility and ease of use when customizing their site and at the same time benefit from the available features with regard to long-term support and client satisfaction.
