<p>I got to chat with Stephanie this week, a senior web engineer at Microsoft, who I've given the prestigious gold-star award for top front-end web development content producer this year ;). She's got so many cool projects like <a href="https://moderncss.dev/">Modern CSS</a>, <a href="https://stylestage.dev/">Style Stage</a>, <a href="https://smolcss.dev/">SmolCSS</a>, and a <a href="https://learnfromsteph.dev/">beginner course on making a website</a>. So many of the sites she makes are in <a href="https://www.11ty.dev/">Eleventy</a>, she's taken to teaching that too, like on her site <a href="https://11ty.rocks/">11ty Rocks</a> and <a href="https://egghead.io/courses/build-an-eleventy-11ty-site-from-scratch-bfd3">on Egghead</a>. She's always teaching, like through her podcast <a href="https://wordwrap.dev/">Word Wrap</a> or in <a href="https://smashingconf.com/online-workshops/workshops/stephanie-eckles">online workshops</a>. </p> <p>Catch up with Stephanie on <a href="https://codepen.io/5t3ph/">CodePen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/5t3ph">GitHub</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/5t3ph">Twitter</a>, and her <a href="https://thinkdobecreate.com/">personal website</a>. </p> <h3 id="h-sponsor-jetpack-backup">Sponsor: <a href="https://jetpack.com/upgrade/backup/?aff=8638">Jetpack Backup</a></h3> <p>Jetpack offers <a href="https://jetpack.com/upgrade/backup/?aff=8638">Full Site Backup</a> (database, theme, assets... everything), but it doesn't just back everything up, it goes above and beyond. For one thing, you can get real-time backups if you need, meaning everything is backed up as it happens, not day-by-day. You can also restore your site to any previous backup with the click of a button. That's above and beyond right there. But if you're a WooCommerce user, you'll rest easy knowing that you won't lose eCommerce sales and product changes when you restore to a historical point. Those changes are then "replayed" on top of the backup. </p>
