Today's Torque Social Hour is going to be a dive into #WordPress integration with new social networks like Bluesky and Mastodon.
Anthony Burchell will be talking about some WP projects he's building around the AT Protocol, and @timnolte is going to catch us up on some of the new WP projects built around ActivityPub.
I've used #Akismet on my #WordPress blog to block spam since its early days. The folks over at #Automattic have just informed me that I'm in violation of their license terms because the Google ads I have on it make it "commercial" so I can't use their free license.
I write on my blog for fun, and most years the ads bring in less than the cost of an Akismet license.
This is stupid and short-sighted on Automattic's part. I would have paid a reasonable price; this ain't it. Bye, Akismet.
Also, I've been waiting a month and a half for #Automattic to fix a problem with the social sharing functionality in their #Jetpack#WordPress plugin which is preventing me from linking my social accounts to my blog. In that time I've been given zero useful information and a great deal of outright wrong information by their support staff (read the ticket, it's a whopper). This does not put me in a position to be well-disposed toward giving Automattic money.
Brauche Hilfe bei #Wordpress, Theme Fukasawa. Ich würde gerne dieses Copyright (C) - Symbol unten links auf der Seite https://koeln-vorort.de loswerden, da die Fotos unter CC stehen. Finde aber keine Einstellungsmöglichkeit bei Widget o.ä. Hat jemand eine Idee?
"Arxtu Formació" is already a fact. It is operational, if anything in the absence of small details and some additional adjustment in the back-end. The good thing is that it is also 100% sustainable and fast.
The good thing about the design of Artxtu Formació, a site built exclusively with the site editor (#Gutenberg) and native #WordPress blocks, is not only that its pages load in less than 1 second; it is also that the site is sustainable
El tipo de licencia de #WordPress permite bifurcar cualquier tema, lo que representa una gran oportunidad para emprendedoras y emprendedores, freelancers, dueños de pymes y bloggers.

This article is part of the #FromBlogsToBlocks campaign , a celebration of the 20th anniversary of WordPress #WP20: The story from my origins in #WordPress to today.
Thanks for all of the #WordPress folk chiming in about a duplication plugin. Seems like Yoast wins the vote, though I will likely end up checking out all of the ones suggested lol
I've decided to go back to blogging using the #Wordpress
platform (rather than static HTML), thanks to the incredible #ActivityPub plugin that makes the blog part of the #fediverse.
While there are still lots of kinks to work out (and more than 20+ years worth of old blog posts to eventually migrate), I'm happy with the results thus far.
So... if you would like to follow my blog posts on the fediverse, please follow my account at: @jmb
