The ActivityPub plugin on my Wordpress blog is working and my entire blogs are posting in full text to Mastodon, links and all. Footnotes are a bit wonky; may need to change the code on those. Finally got my custom Gravatar to come through too. Check it out at @jillminor #wordpress#ActivitypubPlugin#Blog#bookstodon@bookstodon
The learning curve was steep but exciting. It brought me back to what I’ve been preaching for umpteen years: make your own web space the anchor of your actions!
I'm back with blogging and new plans believing in decentralised networking: https://www.cronenburg.net/blogging/@writers
I recommend not publishing on Medium, for starters.
Full disclosure, I opened the article to see if its 2024 #accessibility recommendations were the same as the 2004 or 2014 recommendations (headings, alt text, contrast, etc.) but now I cannot be sure what new insights it contains. #a11y
@aardrian@writers 2/2 My conclusion is always the same: My #WordPress#website is the most #independent#medium: I own and manage my data myself. My normal provider is cheaper than any platform. I can make WordPress newsletter-capable with a plug-in, integrate it into Fediverse and implement payment systems. All traffic comes to me, not to external companies. Addresses are not lost. Disadvantage: Because I'm not famous, I have to attract readers myself. But I also have to do that on platforms!

I agree. There isn't a real alternative to wordpress. Both wordpress.com and self hosted #WordPress are options I use for various activities.
Is anyone else having issues with jetpack showing their stats correctly on a free #Wordpress blog?
In days when I have a bit more traffic, the main page will give me a number, but when I click on the traffic tab, the listed blog posts and views do not match that number, they're significantly fewer.
