✅ My Now page is now, now, not then any longer. Been meaning to check that off the ol' to-do list for a long time! 😅 Howdy springtime 2024! 🌸

@jaredwhite oh that's a clever idea - post to your Threads account first and then boost back on the Mastodon one. Seems so obvious instead of the double-posting that I've been doing. Thanks for the idea!

@alabut Sure thing!

Do be advised that there are some instances in the fediverse which have blocked Threads, so boosting a post you've made on Threads may not reach *all* of your followers. But most of the time I imagine it'd be fine. I just really hate cross-posting personally and prefer simply boosting what I've already posted. That's the whole point of having open protocols, right? 😅

@jaredwhite oh I hadn’t considered the blocking instances either. I wonder how many those are in practice? Maybe I’m just too basic and not cool enough for the rowdier parts of the fediverse 😂

So hey, while I’ve got you on the horn, thought I’d take a sec to say that I love what you’re doing with the CSS course! I started diving into a much overdue refresher on frontend skills since rebooting my site late last year and it’s been eye-opening to see how far native browser techniques have come while I was phoning it in with the same old tired Bootstrap grids.

I see that you’re thinking of adding other teachers and was wondering if you’d be interested in partnering up for a “Design for Non-Designers” course for devs or other design newbies? It’s a topic that’s come up lately on the zoom calls and it’s fun to see people going through the same self-taught dev-to-design transition at the beginning of my career. Just a thought!

@alabut oh that's great to hear, I'm glad you've been enjoying the CSS course!

Feel free to DM me with any more thoughts about upcoming courses…right now I'm all in on a vanilla JS-themed course, but maybe later this year…!
