How I Went From Zero to Make.com-Like Automation in WordPress (The Easy Way)

Automating your WordPress site doesn’t have to feel like rocket science. Tools like Make.com are powerful, but for many beginners, they can feel overwhelming.

Matt: Remembering Jesus Ornelas

Today we honored the passing of Jesus Ornelas, the father of my friend Rene, whom I’ve known for 28 years now.

He plays incredible transcriptions of classical pieces, replicating the parts of an entire orchestra with just two hands. If you’re familiar with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, you know the Presto for Summer is one of […]
