Any chance of a WPSEO 2.1.2 with just the XSS fix @yoast? I’d rather wait for 2.2 bug fixes.

Two baby day.

I’m a little bit full, tbh.

Now menus are in the WordPress Theme Customizer, does the theme review team require menus use Open Sans?

Which emoji is the WordPress theme customizer?

(Don’t be so predictable)

Kids say the darnedest things.

First pass of unobtrusive comment-reply.js for WordPress threaded comments. github.com/peterwilsoncc/rapid-comment-reply (just the facts edition)

No idea what prompted me to take this photo four years ago.

I should do something about self-hosted snippets with active previews. gitlab or a private jsbin install seems too much though.

Anyone with a Galaxy S3 able to do me a favour and hit it with a hammer?

<style>
.js #w {display:none; }

</style>
<div id="w">I resent you</div>

var pwcc="working";
alert( window.window.window.pwcc );
