Astra is a good freemium theme. The pro version has more features but the free version is really good.
Elementor (the builder) has a great free basic theme called HELLO
Hey! There are some great communities out there like PostStatus.com that are full of helpful people that can help.
WPBeginner.com is a great resource.
I hope that helps!
And true. She is a MUTT! A that make sense that she's not that smart. LOL
Semantics. Regardless I wanted to share my cute dog.
Ghost.org is working toward Federating. WordPress.org (self-hosted) using the ActivityPub plugin federates nicely.
But then you have to follow what Matt Mullenweg is up to!
I would suggest Write.as or running your own WriteFreely install using Yunohost.

Olive is a 3 1/2 yr old Airedoodle.
She's 50% Airedale Terrier, 36% approx standard poodle, and 16% approx Labrador Retriever.
Out of all these smart breeds, she missed out on all the smarts. She's not that bright, but a very loving amazing, large dog.
Sadly true.
Rock on!
Exciting!
Will check that out? Thanks!!!
Neat feature. Any word on if Kagi has ties to the Kremlin?
Do you have a news link to share not just a X post? I don't go to X.com EVER!
Well that's "great" ugh!
I also think it's supposed to be Nearsighted not shortsighted. But I'm just a stupid American! LOL
Well my 12 yr old is screwed. He's a gamer and... well spends too much time on the computer. Bah!
Double Standard!
Mullenweg bars Joost de Valk from speaking at WordCamp Asia, saying he feels Joost "stabbed" him when he was down.

Matt Mullenweg has a huge chip on his shoulder that HE PUT THERE. He's taking it out on his top contributors.
Joost has nothing but the best interest at heart for the WordPress community. I would exactly say Mullenweg Silenced Joost, it's not like he killed him or anything, but he's not letting him speak at WC Asia.
I think Matt has gone off the deep end here and its' concerning beyond belief.
We really need to wrangle control of the project out of his hands.
Is there a way to up the char count on a self-hosted (redundant I know) Mastodon that I control?
Or do I HAVE to use Glitch Soc?
I love the Post Status community and am a paying member Joost and Marieke are great stewards and will do a lot for the community.
A battle over ownership and open-source software catches WordPress users in the middle.

I'm a member and I see the need for a community like this outside of WordPress.org to make sure the project survives Matt Mullenweg's idiocy.
Remake of 1993 classic lets you drink wine and eat hors d’oeuvres as you admire masterpieces from art history.

Because why the hell not!
I recently (as in just now) bought a month of the Kagi Search engine to give it a whirl. THEN I heard they use Yandex which is Russian and well... Russia and Ukraine. Any truth to this?

This is going to be an ongoing post, or so I hope, about what I caught during the 3 day WCUS event.

I'm live blogging the sessions that I'm going to remotely via the live streams.
Hi,
I have a client who is trying to set up a YouTube channel for two of there businesses using just his one Google Workspace account.
Is there a tutorial out there that I can share with them on how to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I have an iPhone 15 that when my car picks up a phone call on the hands-free system. It takes a moment to Ashley pick up and then is at first with the volume. Is this an iPhone issue that is known? Could it be T-Mobile? Or could it be my 2014 Avalon system? I didn’t have his problem with my android phone prior to this iPhone switch. Thanks for any insights.
I'm looking for a parental control app for iOS 17 that allows me to not only restrict apps etc but also lets me over-ride the schedule and allow the kiddo to play as I see fit.
We were using the Screentime Labs app on android. But on iOS it doesn't work well.
Let me clarify that with that it's great for writing blog posts, but layout? Geezus it sucks.
It's kind of amazing it works. I'm not clean bubble anymore.
Has anyone else tried this?
Freaking brilliant.
I was thrilled to see Vyvance finally go generic, but now it's on a major delay. Ugh. Has anyone else been hit with this? Luckily for the rest of the year IBX (my insurance) will cover name-brand Vyvance and pay for it. Next year's gonna be fun! (Sarcasm)

Do we even care? Intrigued at all?
