President Trump is in the UK on a State visit, where he’s been hosted by the royal family and is set to meet with Prime Minister Starmer. The two leaders appear to have a strong relationship. But there's one big issue that’s become a sticking point between them. Increasingly, free speech in the United Kingdom is a hot button rallying cry among the conservatives in the United States. Why have Republicans in America become so obsessed with free speech across the Atlantic? Especially when a crackdown on speech is kicking off at home. This programme includes language which some listeners find offensive.

Announcements WordCamp US 2025 is in Portland next week WordPress Updates Making use of AI to get my website work done. Start at loveable.dev and create a free account. Use the five tokens a day to “vibe” code your way to beautiful projects Use the ideas in Loveable to create in WordPress Power move: use screenshots from Loveable and Cursor to build WordPress block compatible sections. Be Specific in Cursor! Tell Cursor to give you code that won’t break in the editor and can update the visuals with CSS Paste the CSS into the Site Editor CSS area for quick checks to make sure it works, then move it to a more permanent spot once you are happy with the look The best way I’ve found is to tell Cursor to create a new template HTML file and then it can write the code in the HTML template. Then you can refresh your local environment to immediately see your changes. Things that I’ve done in the last two weeks: Created a card on the home page that highlights an upcoming cruise for next summer for my wife’s business Created a partner page that highlights some of the sponsors and links to their upcoming webinars Formatted WordPress details block FAQs to be more elegant with custom icons to open/close them Built a complete sales landing page for easy duplication for every course Other AI Tools I’ve been using: ChatGPT Claude Ollie Thank You!

And there is now a WordPress Figma project that can be accessed by the community to be used to make tutorials, etc. using the same images that the design is built from. There has been a lot of thought into making it the best tool for EVERYONE — it needs to be simple enough for all to use, but powerful enough for developers to do what they need to do Matt came back and talked about the power of how we can use the help of AI to build out a WordPress site much quicker than before.
