FontAwesome, a leading icon library used by millions of websites, is gearing up for exciting updates. In their recent 5.9 release, they introduced 421 new icons, including ‘duo icons’—clever pairings like laptop & phone or silo & barn.

Should You Be Using WP’s Block Editor?
With WordPress 5.0, the new Block Editor (Gutenberg) became the default, replacing the familiar Classic Editor with a drag-and-drop, block-based system.

In this post, we explore the pros and cons of the Block Editor—its simplicity and REACT.js foundation versus its bugs and limited layout options.

Serif fonts, like Times New Roman, bring a classic, formal vibe with their decorative flourishes, while sans serif options like Arial offer a clean, modern simplicity. Though readability myths once divided them, it’s really about context—font size, style, and your site’s vibe. The best websites often mix both, proving it’s less about rules and more about the message you want to send.
