    Downloads have ceased working.

    It appears that downloads are working again for WP Studio themes and plugins. I was able to download the Members fork with no problems.

    Hopefully, Benjamin will communicate with us soon.

    Curiously, the GPL Sharebox downloads work fine.

    I hope that Benjamin is okay, but it would be great if he would check in here and give us an update.

    Yes, thanks for letting us know you are okay. Those snowy, icy DC winters likely now seem mild compared to below zero North Dakota winters. At least you don't have to worry about the boat icing and taking on water.

    The kids on the reservation are lucky to have a great teacher.

    I never cared much for Yoast.

    So now EIG is Newfold Digital. I guess that EIG nameplate got so tarnished by poor performance and service that they needed a new corporate name to make things better. They have ruined HostGator and made BlueHost mediocre. Fortunately, I no longer have any clients using HostGator and only two still on BlueHost. One of the BlueHost sites has been down twice in the past 6 months due to server issues. The latest outage lasted almost 24 hours. Apparently there is no redundancy. They pay for cheap hosting and receive cheap hosting.

    For the past year I have built all my new websites using the Block editor. Gutenberg has evolved from clunky to easy to use. At first, I found myself using a lot of "Custom HTML" blocks to overcome Gutenberg's deficiencies. Then again, I built dozens of CSS/HTML websites before adopting WordPress as my main platform, so it is easy to cobble a page of part of a page with HTML. With page all builders you're dependent on the developers keeping current with the twists and turns of the Block editor as it evolves.

    I haven't tried Gutenator yet. I may install it on a dev site and give it a go. I use the GeneratePress theme and the GenerateBlocks plugin for all my new sites and have converted many of the old ones to this combination. I have never liked using page builders, although it appears that the WP Block editor is evolving into just that.
