Editorial Policy

Editorial Policy

This page explains how the articles on this site are made. It applies to every article, so the notices below are not repeated on each one.

Who writes

The articles are written and signed by me, Dan Strand. They are my views, based on my work building websites and making tools for them.

My interests

I make a site builder, WordPress themes and plugins, and most of what I write here explains why they exist. That is a commercial interest, and you should read what I say with it in mind.

  • When I mention one of my products, I say plainly that it is mine.
  • I do not accept payment for coverage, reviews or links, and nothing on this site is sponsored.
  • When I write about other platforms or products, the facts I give about them come from their own documentation or from published sources, and I link to them so you can check.
  • If an article ever contains a referral link that pays me, it will say so next to the link.

How I use AI

I use AI tools to help with research, outlines, first drafts and proofreading. They do not decide what I publish. Every article is rewritten and edited until it says what I mean, and every fact, figure and quotation is checked against its source before publication. When I cannot verify something, I leave it out.

Sources

Facts and figures are linked to their source, and articles end with a list of the sources used. I prefer primary sources: official documentation, the platforms’ own help pages and published data. Where a figure depends on the date, I say when it was published or checked.

Updates and corrections

Every article shows the date it was last updated, and I change that date only when the content has actually changed.

If you find a mistake, write to [email protected] with “Correction” in the subject line. I correct factual errors promptly, and when a correction changes the meaning of an article, I note what changed at the end of it.
