So excited that Umbraco Automate is finally out in the wild! A powerful drag-and-drop automation engine directly in the backoffice. This has been a lot of fun to work on for the past few months as a joint effort between our DXP and AI teams. umbraco.com/products/add... #codegarden

The #Umbraco MVP Summit kicked off #Codegarden week in Copenhagen today! 🚀 Inspiring insights, great discussions, and reconnecting with our amazing community. Thank you, MVPs, for your passion and dedication. Day one down - we’re just getting started ✨🫶

Feels like we haven’t had a release for a while so… BlockPreview 5.4.0 (for v17) and 6.0.0-rc1 (for v18 RC) are now available! github.com/rickbutterfi... github.com/rickbutterfi...

There’s more than one person taking part in #umbracoTees in our house today... Our hearts have been full since meeting Miles, now our arms are too. Three weeks ago we welcomed his baby sister, our beautiful daughter, into our family and we’re forever grateful 💛🌈

En route to #UmbracoSpark this morning! Looking forward to seeing some folks I haven't seen for a while and making some new friends. First stop... the Spark Hackathon!

Last minute announcement - thanks @deanleigh.bsky.social for the suggestion. Tomorrow is the launch of Umbraco 17 so why not have an #umbracoTees day! Tomorrow, wear your Umbraco swag - post a photo on socials with the hashtag #umbracoTees - tag me so I can find it isitumbracoteesday.today

Unfortunately I didn't get in to the London Marathon, and the Manchester Marathon is a little while away yet, so I thought I'd do a fun little challenge to raise money for @alderhey.nhs.uk @alderheycharity.org in November! www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

Most exciting thing from @umbmanchester.bsky.social tonight! #umbraco

Today's main job was to get 2FA recovery codes working with Umbraco Members... and it's been successful! Blog post coming at some point soon 👀 #umbraco

Upgraded my Cloud hosted site to Umbraco 16 this morning with zero hiccups!

Those 15 years have flown by and everything has changed since then too. ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/respon...

Happy #GAAD and #UMBRAAD day! 45 minutes until talks start... www.meetup.com/umbraco-virt...

New releases of BlockPreview out today! v1 and v3 have been updated thanks to some detective work on the @umbraco.com forum forum.umbraco.com/t/block-prev... v4 has been updated to support the newly released v16.0.0-rc2

Hey #Umbraco community. If you are looking to hire a developer for a full time role, I'm available. Feel free to drop me a DM, even if you just want a chat. Please share with anyone you know 👍

We’re supporting #Umbraco Accessibility Awareness Day (UMBRAAD) — a free, community-led event on May 15. It's a full day of accessible design tips, Umbraco use cases, leadership insights, and sessions exploring how to build more inclusive digital products. Check it out at umbra.co/umbraad25-B

I am *so* close to releasing a new Umbraco package I've been working on since the end of last year, but now the fear has set in 😅 If you use #umbraco alongside tools like Semrush, ahrefs, Sitebulb, Screaming Frog and the like I'd love to have a quick chat with you!

It's been a pleasure being part of the team since it's launch in 2023, and I'm even happier carrying on for another year! 🚀🌲🍃

wooahh Figma's new Sites thing produces no semantic HTML at all. Every single element is a div. Incredibly inaccessible Example: plugin-value-scrum.figma.site

the nostalgia of exporting your (nicely sliced) macromedia fireworks file to HTML.

Really honoured that BlockPreview has made the list... up against some amazing Umbraco packages!
