Even though it's apples and oranges in more than a few ways, Dave Winer is right when he says it's easier to host WordPress than Mastodon.

I have self-hosted WordPress before, and I'm sure I could do it again.

If Dave Winer's Wordland editor is the thing that gets me writing on this WordPress.com site, I'll have to see what I can do about a new theme.

I had forgotten that WordPress.com has a hookup with the Fediverse (maybe just Mastodon?)

It's hard to discover Dave Winer's Wordland without following Dave and inferring what he's working on.

When you have an idea or thought you want to share, things like titles, categories, tags, bold, italic and links slow you down.

Can you create a Wordland post without a title and have it publish that way in WordPress?

Dave Winer's Wordland is exactly what I'm looking for, except I want to do it for static site generators like Hugo and Zola instead of WordPress.com.

At first glance, the block editor for themes in “free” WordPress is a shit show.

You really can post to a WordPress blog by writing an email.

Dave Winer makes me think.

Dave Winer has some very positive things to say about WordPress’ position in the modern web and social media world.

I’m not sure this feature is fully baked just yet.

I give Automattic a lot of credit for opening up every WordPress.com blog to the Fediverse.

An Apple Mid-2011 iMac 27-inch “Core i5” 2.7 fell into my lap some time around 2017, and even though it had a few years of MacOS support ahead, it was slow — never mind the 20 GB of RAM I added when supporting it for an Adobe Creative Cloud workflow.

CentOS was a big deal before Red Hat acquired the project in 2014.

Red Hat unleashed the kraken with its recent announcement that its CentOS 8 clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux would be shut down in 2021 instead of 2029, to be replaced by the newish CentOS Stream 8.

It’s been a long time since I ran the “real” Google Chrome in Linux.

I recognize that the title of this post is absurd.

After many months in the shed, I pulled out our daughter’s half-height, falling-apart Billy bookcase and did a reinforcement job.

WordPress has been around a long, long time, and the company has maintained its commitment to keeping blogs free and available.

I made the switch from Google Chrome to Firefox at least a year ago, and I thought the Mozilla-coded browser’s performance improvements were enough to allow me to eliminate one spy-ish element from my computing life.

I happened to be heading east on Victory Boulevard in the Reseda area and needed some dog and cat food, so I stopped at Vons, where Victory meets Tampa Avenue, to see what I could pick up.

One of the things I like most about WordPress is that it makes it easy to add captions to images.

This new WordPress interface that is based on “blocks” that can contain paragraphs, images, headings, etc., is really growing on me.

The late Ted Greene’s books are a great way to get jazz sounds under your fingers.

I work on Christmas every year.

No other site has a direct link to the id of the president of the United States

tl;dr Now that social media is king, post-WordPress blogging systems don’t want to deal with comments, outsourcing them to services such as Disqus.

Not sure why I can’t create a post and then have somebody leave a comment.

I had to register an application, and still Disqus won’t sync comments on another site I’m working on.

I saw someone else using this blog theme called Resonar, and I immediately switched this blog over to it.
