Side Quest Helper

Utilities to automate WordPress updates, built at 10,000 ft.

The goal of this side quest was to make other quests easier.

I’d basically abandoned this robburke.net site. I wanted to breathe new life into it by documenting these “someday maybe” projects I’m now tackling.

The Literal Journey

At 10,000 ft, on Mr Porter’s Wi-Fi, Claude recommended a clean new Theme, taught me about WordPress APIs, updated some existing pages, created a new “Side Quest” menu, and created an automated submenu for adding quests as they get big enough to mention.

Yes I write these myself. It would defeat the point to have Claude / Gemini write them for me. However yes, I get them to critique and make suggestions, too :)

What I Learned

The WordPress REST API is actually pretty capable. And Claude wields it well.
