Adding AVIF and WebP Support to My Craft CMS Site

Five years ago, I wrote about AVIF: A New Image Format (back then). Since then, I’ve implemented WebP and AVIF support on numerous client sites for considerable performance improvements – but my own site was still serving JPEG, PNG, and GIF images only. So it was time to fix...

Challenge

It’s the early nineties. Legendary comic book artist Frank Miller had just broken away from the major publishers, after creating titles like Daredevil: Born Again, Ronin, and The Dark Knight Returns. He was now working with the then-young Dark Horse Comics, when he decided t...

Waiting

I am standing on Princes Street while waiting for the bookshop to open. There is a drizzle or rain falling from the grey sky. Earlier, I noticed the red of the morning autumn horizon peek through the clouds. I have. As I always do, conviction that the sun will come out. Edin...

Typewriters and labyrinths
