Plus, compressors can also make your images blurry. But there’s an often overlooked file format that can compress images down to nothing while barely affecting quality at all. If you hate how lossy JPEG compression makes your photos look, or the huge file sizes of PNGs, WebP might be just what you’re looking for. What is WebP, when should you use it, and how can you add it to your WordPress site? Let’s go over all of these questions so you can get your image sizes down and your pages loading faster. WebP: What is That? Most image formats we use today have been around since nearly the beginning of the world wide web. And that makes sense; PNG, JPEG, and GIF do their jobs pretty well.

Seasonal CSS → I love this little CSS stylesheet to give you a simple but pleasant little change of color on your site throughout the days of a year. James Stanley’s little project is a better-version of some of the first WordPress code I ever wrote, so the concept is very near to my heart.
