Updated (at bottom) 9/25/2024 This is going to be a post that will grow and be added to as my thoughts come together around what happened at the Q&A with Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of the WordPress project and CEO of Automattic. I can say one thing for certain it was uncomfortable to watch and

Mullenweg Needs To Act Better
Zack Katz, fellow WordPresser, wrote a great post in response to Automattic and WordPress Co-Founder Matt Mullenweg’s recent behavior.

The Idea Of My Blog Being Federated On The Fediverse
The idea of my blog being federated on the Fediverse and being able to have people follow the posts directly is really cool. I just wish I could figure out how to get the ActivityPub plug-in to work. Doh! 🥸
