Using Astro with different headless CMSs is excellent and relatively easy to achieve. The only problem is dealing with the live previews.

When working with collections like a portfolio or a blog you often want to list one or more posts on the homepage. My friend Philip Thygesen tipped me to use an entries field for this where the you can select an entry. If you don't select one it should fall back to the most recent entry in the collection.

A quick tutorial on how to create Hetzner volumes and use them as massive filesystems in Laravel and Statamic projects.

For recent journal entries about SVG clipping masks and animating clipping masks I wanted to render actual code examples in the article to show the reader what the end result of the tutorial would look like. Since I use the Tailwind CSS JIT compiler my website ships with a CSS file that contains only the classes that are actually being used in my template files.

In Statamic it's pretty easy to handle responsive images using Glide and Antlers. I initially wrote this post over two years ago for Statamic v2 and it's proven to be the most visited page of my website. For my new website I decided to give it an update. Here we go.

Alt texts are very important for accessibility (a11y) and search engine optimization (SEO). Visually impaired users often make use of screen readers. It's software that interprets and reads out the contents of a website. Images of course can't be read out. So it's important to add so called alt texts to them. They also help search engines crawl and interpret the contents of your website.

Static caching gives your site a speed boost, but it can also lead to inconsistent content. Here's how you automatically clear exactly the right pages from your static cache.

There are rare situations where being able to reference a variable dynamically would make your life much easier (such as dynamic alt text). Antlers Runtime supports dynamic variables, and this article covers their usage.

WordPress has themes, Statamic has starter kits - both let you set up a new site quickly, but the approaches are quite different. Here are the main distinctions you should keep in mind when moving from WordPress to Statamic.

Managing prefixed imported fieldsets can sometimes be challenging when attempting to create reusable partials. However, the Antlers Runtime version provides ways to make this easier using the handle_prefix parameter.

Static Caching gives your site a speed boost, but sadly it also breaks any forms you may have. Here's how you can have the best of both worlds.

Static caching is a great way to increase your website performance, but it does present some obstacles. Since the entire site is served as HTML, it's not possible to show random content to the user with Antlers. Let's look at some workarounds.

By default, any asset you upload to your Statamic control panel can be accessed by anyone on the internet. Here's an easy way to make sure only authorized users can download them instead.

Using Tailwind CSS when creating your Statamic site gets stuff done in no time. You can work even faster - and save a bunch of conditionals - by simply telling Tailwind to also check your fieldsets for classes used.
