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
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?
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.

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.
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
@davew I don't think #Mastodon can catch up to #twitter as a "global townhall" or a and I think #BlueSky is more likely to be a challenge long term to Twitter solely because of the Right People gravitating there, along with Founder cred.
But I'm casting my lot with #ActivityPub. Especially #wordpress.i want to return to the blogsphere of old rather than social media silos and I think we have the tools for this now.
