WordPress Resources

WordPress is the system I use for this website, along with a mildly unreasonable amount of CSS, trial and error, and “wait, why is that spacing there?” energy.

This page collects WordPress-related tools, notes, references, and fixes I want to keep close at hand. Some of it is practical. Some of it is troubleshooting. Some of it is here because I solved the same problem once and do not wish to rediscover it at 11:40pm while staring at a broken layout.

I use WordPress as both a publishing tool and a design system. It gives me enough structure to build real pages, but enough flexibility to customize things when the defaults start behaving like an abandoned shopping mall escalator.

This is not meant to be a polished “how to build a website” guide. It is more of a running workshop table. Half references. Half notes. Half caffeine residue. The math does not need to work.
