As I play around with #Publer as a tool to share content on #Mastodon and #Bluesky, I am sharing a video of a wonderful #bunny getting his post-breakfast chew on.

Can't seem to find a way to add an alt tag to the video, so I am not sure that this is a viable way forward.

Is Matt Mullenweg the Mad King of WordPress?
The WordPress co-founder's open-source empire dominates the web. His attack on competitor WP Engine may be putting it at risk.

#WordPress question: How do I get a custom 404 page to load on a WP-to-static site on #Netlify?

Using Posner's Simply Static plugin: wordpress.org/plugins/simp...

The site - built with Elementor. Locally, WordPress loads the 404 template correctly.

Running on Netlify, Netlify's 404 page loads.

On Thanksgiving last week, one of our guests taught me that the turntable on a microwave can be turned off.

Who knew?!

I’ve been microwaving since the 80s and had no idea.
