1. I Created a Chrome Extension with AI
I was recently doing some prospecting in HubSpot, looking for companies with their sites built on HubSpot CMS. I manually clicked on each company URL and then inspected the code to see if I could determine the CMS. This worked, but it was tedious. So, I wondered if ChatGPT could create a Chrome extension that would do the source code check for me and then display a green image in the toolbar if it was built on HubSpot CMS.
I entered my prompt and, sure enough, code with instructions on how to build the extension. I went back and forth testing it until I got it working. The amazing thing is I didn’t have to understand or know the code; I just needed a clear understanding of the end result. So once I got it working, I wondered, “Hmm, I wonder if I could add this to the Chrome Extension library?” I went through the steps of publishing it, and it is now available if you would like to give it a try. It is called HubSpot CMS Detector.

2. Web Design History Museum
I came across this website that does a great job at documenting the history of web design. I graduated college in 2004, when CSS and web design standards were first introduced. I started out creating sites with a fixed width and then turned to responsive web design when the iPhone was introduced in 2007. In that same year CSS-Tricks, a blog about CSS and web design, was launched and I read every post. This blog helped me go from a print graphic designer to learning WordPress development. Things have come a long way and it is cool to look back and see how things have continuously improved over time.
