Last year, I spent a weekend building my WordPress theme Pulitzer while documenting the whole process in a thread on Twitter. Since then, Twitter has become a hellish nightmare place that I want nothing to do with, so in January this year, I deleted my account and moved over to Bluesky.
The Pulitzer thread and everything else I’ve posted on Twitter was purged in the move, and I’ve been asked a few times if the thread can be read somewhere. Fortunately, I now have somewhere to direct those people to. Birgit Pauli-Haack has published a summary of the entire thread on Gutenberg Times, with screenshots and code snippets and all. Hopefully it’s of some interest if you’re curious about how modern block themes are built.
