So excited that I was able to write a blog post in #orgmode#emacs and publish it to my #classicpress blog from within orgmode! The new post ain't much to look at, and there's no content to speak of. Just a proof of concept. And it proofed!
He has demonstrated a certain flexible morality (never mind misogyny), and you don’t get your company to billions of dollars without throwing someone under the bus (never mind all the free labor).
@aardrian I think the thing that concerns me here is what about #ActivityPub for WP plugin, which is now "owned" by #Automattic and I'm not really confident in the longer term viability and compatibility of #ClassicPress over #WordPress .
It would seem that self-hosted WordPress should be enough.
Help, please? I'm new to the #Fediverse, and enjoying socializing. I took a look into using the WordPress #ActivityPub plugin on a #ClassicPress blog but it looks like that's not a viable option, at least for the moment. I'm a little bewildered by the Fediverse still and my eyes are starting to glaze from doing research, so it might be easier to ask: does anyone have reasonably simple (and, unfortunately, cheap) suggestions for a method for posting regular blog posts (actually, #SerialFiction chapters)?
@weirdwriter@classicpress
WordPress shifted its market focus away from people who want to focus on creating content (writers, photographers, etc), also away from designers and developers who used to find WordPress a good platform for developing websites, and toward people who want a cool website without having to know what they're doing and without having to pay someone else to do it; the commodification of the Dunning-Kruger effect. #ClassicPress
@feditips@pfefferle Unfortunately it breaks #ClassicPress. Had to delete the plugin. Blog was only showing blank pages after upgrading to 1.0.0 (and it didn't work beforehand, too).
The thing that blows my mind about publisher CMS use in general is that there's no real alternative to WordPress. Impressive to see how this happened - and in an open source context where someone absolutely could build something new and 100% compatible.
Thinking of reanimating my personal "blog", but as a #digitalgarden. I've got the domain and am using #wordpress for my business website. But is there anything that's more lightweight that anyone can recommend? I've looked at #obsidianpublish but don't really want to spend that much for hosting. TIA! #obsidian
@mlevison Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at a while ago, and I would have to upgrade my hosting plan, use a VPS, reinstall the site, and do some other heavy lifting that I wasn't inclined to do.
So I basically just went with #classicpress because I'm fairly familiar with old school WP. Simplest solution for me. But Jekyll definitely intrigued me. Thanks for asking!
