After months of dedication, I’m thrilled to announce that my new WordPress block theme, MonoFrame, is officially live on WordPress.org!
MonoFrame is a sleek, clean, and modern block theme built specifically for Full Site Editing (FSE). It offers a minimalistic canvas designed for creators, bloggers, and professionals who appreciate flexibility, simplicity, and performance.
With carefully crafted global styles, responsive layouts, and accessibility-ready features, MonoFrame provides an intuitive editing experience, allowing you to easily build and customize every part of your WordPress site.
This launch marks a significant milestone, and I’m excited to see how the WordPress community embraces MonoFrame. Your feedback and suggestions are always welcome and greatly appreciated.
I fueled up on coffee and dove into the Test Team’s first ever Quality Analysis Report. They spent six months planning, three months collecting data, and reviewed 217 commits from the 6.8 release through 6.8.2. Of those, 52 were tagged as “improvements” (bug fixes, enhancements, regressions) and each got a 0–5 score based on code reviews, manual tests, and automated tests.
Me to my coffee mug – “Ready to tame this beast?” Coffee mug – “Only if you refill me by commit 100”
Over the reporting period, I submitted 13 detailed test reports so far, which landed me firmly in the top dozen contributors out of 58 testers. It was a real thrill to see my efforts recognized, knowing that each report I crafted helped give the Test Team clearer insights into where Core needed attention.
Hunting down those tricky edge cases and squashing stubborn bugs wasn’t just a fun challenge, it drove actual fixes in WordPress. There’s something deeply satisfying about spotting your name in the official report and realizing that your work directly improved the platform millions rely on every day.
Slack moment – I couldn’t resist dropping “Top tester alert: eyes on me” into #core-test
Quick Stats That Made Me Nod
Media component led the pack with a 3.29 average score over 7 commits
Editor followed at 2.75 over 4 commits
Build & Test Tools landed at 2.4 over 5 commits
Almost 60 percent of merged changes had no manual tests, like shipping cupcakes without tasting them first
Why This Matters and What’s Next
This report isn’t about blame. It’s a roadmap for tighter teamwork, bringing testing insights into Core development earlier. I’ll be watching for Test Team calls to action and hope you’ll join me in writing tests that make WordPress stronger.
