  • Plugin That Allows You To Post From Mastodon To WordPress

    Testing the latest update to the plugin that @alexstandiford@fosstodon.social pointed out. Last time I tried this. It worked but broke my blog post on certain sites. I noticed that the first sentence will be the title, so keep it short, hit enter, and the write more. Check the plugin out here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-mastodon-apps/ Looks like there’s…

  • On Forking WordPress

    On Forking WordPress

    It’s been floated with the recent outburst between Matt Mullenweg and WP Engine, that the community should fork (aka move the OSS) WordPress to a new project, with out the drama (or so it’s thought).

  • WordPress Is More Than Automattic and WordPress.com

    WordPress Is More Than Automattic and WordPress.com

    It’s all come to a head. The team at Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com and Tumblr.com has struck a deal with OpenAI and Midjourney to supply data from its .com and Tumblr.com users for AI learning. The reason why the .com is in bold is because we’re talking about the hosted version of WordPress and…

    Having A Good Host And Knowing Who Runs It Helps

    I was at Flywheel for the longest time. They are a good service. But they lost their personal touch when the were acquired by WPEngine. I recently moved 40 sites to Rocket.net (affiliate link). And I’m very happy with them. Just yesterday, I stupidly deleted a former client’s site without first grabbing a backup. I…
