Things that are built into WordPress but receive little-to-no use:

1. Hello.php and an upsell of Akismet
2. Blog posts
3. Comments
4. Dependency on an external service for profile pictures

Things that aren't built into WordPress but should be:

1. Multiple authors per post
2. A form builder for wp-admin
3. An ORM that prevents n+1 queries
4. Modularity via composer packages
5. Bucket storage support

Canva is an amazing tool. But not for making a Website. There I said it. If you're doing a site with Canva, just STOP!

The Trump "Cult-of-Personality" is really scary. I keep hearing things like he's not going to beat Biden. But there's a chance and that's too much. I'm having fits of freaking out.

Does anyone else have an excessive amount of CDs? I'm busy ripping all of mine so I ​can get rid of the discs. Man, I had a lot of CDs. Lots of great music. Glad I'm saving it, even though I get all my music from Spotify.​

I'm considering adding this to my sites. Are there any other badges out there you've seen that you like or look promising?

Once a journalist, I guess always a journalist. At least when it comes to ethics and making sure shit is right.

I'll die on this hill. I swear.

WordPress.com = Automattic's hosted version

WordPress.org = The FOSS version

WordPress.com = Selling data to OpenAI and Midjourney

WordPress.org = IS NOT

Yes it can be confusing but thank Matt Mullenweg for the obfuscation. Good job genius! 😵‍💫

This is what I posted on the 404 story about the difference between .com and .org.

Hey 404 Crew. Thank you for fixing the last article on WordPress.com and Tumblr.com selling user data to OpenAI and MidJourney. Again in this article you were careful to mention that it's WordPress.com, owned by Automattic, not WordPress.org which is the open source project. But in your headlines you don't have the .com. So this is still spreading FUD. /1

What is the cheapest woocommerce hosting?

I want to make an online store but don’t want to pay $$$$ for Shopify. I looked into woocommerce and it looks exactly like what I want but hosting companies seem to charge extra for woocommerce options. I have deployed my own Wordpress in the past and know enough about front and back end to work things out on my own. Can I...

Finding a good team really is a success hack.

I can’t share too many details publicly yet but I’ve brought people on into leadership positions and having someone to work with like that and actually lead the company along with me has already been life-changing.

I feel so cared for and supported 🥰 The past two weeks were filled with so much joy and love and gratitude.

And I get to work with such smart freaking people too!! I feel so lucky.

@jeffjarvis @jasonhowell on your AI inside podcast You were talking about WordPress Reddit and Tumblr and AI learning. I would appreciate you guys clarifying that it's WordPress.com that is selling the data to open AI. WordPress itself is an open source self-hosted platform that has nothing to do with AI at all when it comes to selling your data. The 404 media story was corrected after we caused the mass of stink about them not making that clear.

@404mediaco how about you be more careful with your reporting!

WordPress.com = Hosting company

not the same as

WordPress.org = The open source software

For the love of GOD!

SELF HOSTED WORDPRESS ISN'T SELLING YOUR DATA TO TRAIN AI!!!!

JUST TUMBLR AND WORDPRESS.COM < note the .com
