Writing on AI, learning, and the web
These are the notes I keep while doing the work: migrations off page builders, editorial CMS rebuilds, the technical-SEO fixes that actually move rankings, and plain-language explainers for the parts of WordPress that trip people up. Some posts are written for developers; others are for the person who just inherited a site they did not build. I write them the way I would explain a problem to a neighbour who asked, without jargon for its own sake and without pretending a hard thing is easy. If something here helps you fix your own site, that is the point.
