Warum sind Spalten in Beiträgen (und damit im #Feed) überhaupt erlaubt?

Ich habe mir mal Gedanken über #RSS-Feeds gemacht, warum sie ständig für tot erklärt werden und warum #WordPress daran mit Schuld ist.

Der tiefe Fall von BackWPup - Torsten Landsiedel BackWPup begleitet mich mindestens seit 2013. Damals hatte ich Daniel Hüsken, den ursprünglichen Entwickler beim ersten WordCamp Europe in Leiden … Weiterlesen →

Was ist nur aus BackWPup geworden? Das 5er-Update ist so grausam. Barrierefreiheit, Übersetzung, Bedienbarkeit - alles ist schlechter geworden.

Da musste ich mir meinen Frust mal von der Seele schreiben …

Know the animated 🌈 border + glow effect that's all the rage? It's normally done by adding an opaque cover on top of two 🌈 layers.

But what if we wanted a (semi)transparent background within the border? It's possible with pure #CSS!

CSS code snippet:

.magic {
  --bg: red;
  background: var(--bg);
  /* Swap between white or black based on the background. */
  color: lch(from var(--bg) calc((50 - l) * infinity) 0 0);
}

CSS code snippet: .magic { --bg: red; background: var(--bg); /* Swap between white or black based on the background. */ color: lch(from var(--bg) calc((50 - l) * infinity) 0 0); }

Found a neat CSS trick to automatically swap between black or white text based on any arbitrary background color!

With relative color syntax, you can use calc to adjust the text color depending if the background is above or below 50% lightness in the LCH color space.

So many Sitemaps are polluted with nonsense because of this. People need to made aware of public CPTs/taxonomies. Even in SEO plugins this is not handled very well.

Whereby is a good alternative. Also limited to 40 minutes in the free tier if I remember correctly.

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team The German translation of the „Post“ button is not „Beitrag“. This would be the translation of „Post“ as a noun, but in this context „Post“ is a verb and means „Veröffentlichen“ (to publish something).

Maybe someone could redirect this to the translation team! Thanks!
