  • 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!

  • Write.as or Micro.blog or ?? for migration of public profile from big corporate social media
  • 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!

  • Olive the Airedoodle

    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.

  • Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option.
  • Neat feature. Any word on if Kagi has ties to the Kremlin?

  • Jetpack is tracking your wp-admin plugin searches and will send you marketing emails based on this activity
  • Do you have a news link to share not just a X post? I don't go to X.com EVER!

  • www.searchenginejournal.com WordPress Leader Mullenweg Silences Joost De Valk

    Mullenweg bars Joost de Valk from speaking at WordCamp Asia, saying he feels Joost "stabbed" him when he was down.

    WordPress Leader Mullenweg Silences Joost De Valk

    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 Kagi the newish paid search engine funding Russia via Yandex

    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?

    IPhone car sound issue

    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.

    Need parental control app

    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.

    Has anyone else seen a shortage of the Generic Vyvance since the drug went Generic?

    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)
