Have you seen the confirmed seasions for #WCEH yet? Which ones are you looking forward to the most? I can’t decide, these all sound fantastic! WordCamp Canada 2025 is shaping up to be one of the best camps I’ve been too! I can’t wait! @WordCampCanada canada.wordcamp.org/2025/sessions/
Anyone looking to get into block development or level up your current skills needs to subscribe to this channel. Ryan is a great teacher and is passionate about helping developers learn and grow! I’ve built a lot of blocks but I still learn new stuff by tuning in often!
I'm excited to announce that I am bringing the Block Developer Cookbook to YouTube! Playlist 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=K4COA6… Subscribe to get notified each week when I post a new recipe!

Rainy Sundays are perfect days for purchasing a new domain name for a new #WordPress site.
Just planned the work I'd like to complete for next weeks planned release of version 2.0 of my Block Accessibility Checks plugin. View the release milestone - github.com/troychaplin/bl… Want to test the beta? Download the zip file in the 2.0 beta release - github.com/troychaplin/bl…
Great idea, I think an evolution to create block could be a big benefit for a larger variety of ways devs can scaffold out plugins, or more.
I love the "wordpress/create-block" package, but I don't like the name, now that it's being used for many things other than creating blocks. If you agree, please join my discussion on GitHub so we can challenge this terrible injustice. github.com/WordPress/gute…
Join us at #WCEH this October! I’ll be sharing how 15 years of evolving and innovating with #WordPress at @CarletonU helped us meet the diverse needs of a modern university, from design systems to multi-block plugins and beyond. 🔗 canada.wordcamp.org/2025/sessions/
The WordCamp Canada team has been hard at work, and I’m thrilled to share our first 17 speakers and 16 talks! 🌟 From accessibility to block development, there’s something for everyone. #WordPress #WCEH @WordCampCanada Check out the lineup — canada.wordcamp.org/2025/announcin…
Just pushed a round of updates to the #WCEH site, a new homepage, updates page, and about section are live! Who's ready to meet our first confirmed speakers? 👀 Announcement coming soon! canada.wordcamp.org/2025/
Just released a 2.0 beta of my Block Accessibility Checks plugin for #WordPress. It surfaces #a11y issues in the #Gutenberg editor & now includes a Developer API so you can add checks to your custom blocks. Try it out & leave feedback in Github issues👇 github.com/troychaplin/bl…
🚀 Been working on an approach to streamlining #WordPress block development by building static, dynamic, and interactive blocks in one setup with optimized asset loading, modern tools, and more! Would love to get some feedback from other block developers! github.com/troychaplin/mu…
I feel bad for the fine folks at Canada Post, getting shit on by those who were fortunate enough to secure a #ps5preorder . Consider yourselves lucky to have one on the way! Now I think I'll go play some @Xbox that Purolator delivered before noon on day 1...
Kinda odd to walk into our venue and be the first one here! #wcott
If you stop by carleton.ca today, you might notice something different. Or everything different.
@63liquid friend passed along some Grape Big Loud today, great stuff! Any plans on offering sample packs in the future?
