Discussed in https://github.com/WordPress/developer-blog-content/discussions/140

Originally posted by **ryanwelcher** July 4, 2023 This would be a follow up article to [How to extend WordPress via the SlotFill system](https://developer.wordpress.org/news/2022/11/how-to-extend-wordpress-via-the-slotfill-system/) where we would show how to create a custom SlotFill and use it in an existing codebase.

I wanted to add my draft here if anyone is looking to see where I am so far. It's still VERY rough and incomplete but I am moving it forward

ryanwelcher commented 9 months ago

My first draft is ready for review!

justintadlock commented 9 months ago

@ryanwelcher - First review in. I'm out of the doc now and will leave the rest to our pro copyeditors. ;)

ryanwelcher commented 9 months ago

@justintadlock changes implemented. If anyone else has the time, I'd love more eyes on it. cc @marybaum

Sounds great! I've started moving it into the post draft but would be happy to get feedback and finish that process off tomorrow. Thank you :)

marybaum commented 9 months ago

You are most welcome!

marybaum commented 9 months ago

I'm about half done. Now some dinner! If you'd like to finish, the main thing I'm doing is converting the passive verbs —

"in the example below, the SlotFill component is created ..."

to active verbs —

"Now make a new SlotFill component ..."

I think it's important to use active verbs because we are teaching people to do things themselves, with their own two hands. Passive verbs imply that maybe they aren't going to be quite that responsible, as if someone else is going to come in and do it for them. I don't think that's the case! 😀 So active verbs will light a fire under their glutei maximi ...

Thanks @marybaum! I'm going to start making the changes in in the draft post. I want to publish this by EOW if possible.

Hi team! I can do the second review of the draft over the weekend (if it's not too late). Just assign me if that timeframe works for you, so I'll get a notification.

Happy holiday :-)

ryanwelcher commented 9 months ago

@ironnysh thanks for the offer but I have already received a review and aim to publish today.
