Watching my daughter work so hard inspires me to work that much harder.

"I'm helping people" is exactly the mindset! It's all too easy to fall into the trap of what's "popular" or getting the most claps. No matter what, what we do is a niche and helping is the ultimate goal. 🧡
There's a real balance, right? Writing and promotion are definitely two distinct crafts.
Keep doing what you're doing — you're *great* at it. That doesn't change based on any other number than even one person getting value out of what you do.

Thanks to the likes of @bell.bz, @allthatmalarkey.bsky.social, and personalsit.es for championing the "little" sites.
It’s been, like, 5 years since I really updated my site’s design, but I’ve been inspired by the recent surge in personal sites and finally shipped something new.
It's buggy and a work in progress, for sure, but still feels refreshing.

@anatudor.bsky.social Fixed! Lots of custom HTML in there that needed reformatting, so let me know if you spot any other funky stuff. And thanks for the heads up!
Somehow at sometime, I stopped being a web designer. And I didn't even see it coming.

And without a single word being spoken, no less!
You have a natural style. But you’re uber adaptable to solving for specific challenges and contexts that veer outside of it.
That ::first-letter treatment is top shelf work, too!
You know I'd love that! 🧡
A great review. Geoff and crew have done so much to keep an absolute pillar of our industry alive and flourishing.
Hate the see how damaging Google “AI summaries” have been, but love to see how much is being invested in the CSS Almanac.
It’s one of my favourite resources on the internet!
It's so great seeing CSS Tricks thrive again (in as much as our Search overlords deem permissible), I've enjoyed it a lot this year.
I'll be danged if looking back on the past year doesn't make me proud as heck of what's happening over at @css-tricks.bsky.social.

It's not just that they do amazing work — more importantly, they're genuinely great humans.
"Declan is the ideal front-ender: incredibly knowledgeable on the technical end, but with a thoughtful and keen eye to the human elements that produce delightful experiences. We've had the pleasure of working together on technical writing projects and I always walk away a better person from them."
Where's the watch?!?!
If you're not gonna bother writing it yourself, I ain't gonna bother reading it myself.
