It includes a some new features, content and bugfixes

Wrapped up a focused little Design Tokens workflow and tooling project for a client this morning.
I think that's me for 2025.
I'm still on the look out for new client work for 2026.
Need a natty front-end developer? A Design Systems expert? A Design Tokens master? All three?

@Ric that sounds very cool!
I used to like the convenience of github pages.
Ok it’s not fully ready for release BUT big news for #selfhosted #forgejo. I’ve written a new plugin for #traefik that can serve static webpages direct from git! Like GitHub-pages but you can host yourself. It also supports SSL for custom domains (the bit I was battling with). Watch this page for more updates #opensource

Last minute announcement - thanks @deanleigh for the suggestion. Tomorrow is the launch of Umbraco 17 so why not have an #umbracoTees day!
Help spread the word. Tomorrow, wear your Umbraco swag (tshirt, hat, hoodie, socks) - post a photo on socials with the hashtag #umbracoTees day, an added bonus if you can tag me so I can find it :D

Umbracians Assemble!
I am taking part in #Decembeard which involves the very difficult task of growing a beard.
OK it’s not running a marathon, but it is to raise money for a good cause, @bowelcanceruk.bsky.social
@awfulwoman And nature rewards us with it's finest fractals
I know were still in Movember but I need an early start to get a decent santa beard!
Please help me raise some money for @bowelcanceruk #Decembeard no matter how small it all helps.

My friend Matt Chick is speaking online at Umbraco US 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM BST this evening giving practical examples on using #Umbraco #Heartcore and the #n8n workflow automation platform to rapidly prototype event-driven workflows.
Matt was instrumental in getting me started with Umbraco and this is a fantastic talk he previously gave at Colchester Digital CIC.

Two weeks ago at CodeGarden 2025 Hackathon I was helped to complete upgrading UmBootstrap to v16 of Umbraco.
Thanks you Rick Butterfield, Matthew Wise and Aaron Sadler and of course Kevin Jump who makes it all work.

After 20 years and 120+ projects (built on our own CMS) I'm both happy and sad to submit final accounts to close Wholething. Very grateful to for our remaining clients to be in the safe hands of Umbraco CMS and Umbhost.

And I glad I suggested it @owaincodes - I am sure it will resonate with many in similar circumstances.
