This interactive #WordPress tutorial was created in just a few minutes using my Quick Playground plugin. What I'm trying to do here is explain the concept of WordPress content blocks, which some people find confusing (particularly when you get to container blocks like columns and rows).

Club and district webmasters who use Toastmost will see a Design Playground on the admin menu at the top of the screen, or under Appearance on the dashboard. Loads a rough copy of your current website, letting you preview it with different designs.

Similarweb monthly app usage estimates for iOS and Android show a small November gains for X and Threads, but Bluesky at +295% growth

Here's the November month over month change in web traffic from within the US for X (-3.6%) vs Bluesky (+189%). It is remarkable that X was down for the month, given that some of its peak days for web traffic all year occurred around the time of the election, same time Bluesky took off like a rocket

Good company.

More than 115K US X users deactivated their accounts via the website on Wednesday, according to Similarweb estimates. We don't know how many others deactivated their accounts via the app. If you're a journalist, contact me for more post-election social media data.

Brazil accounted for 85% of Bluesky global users during X ban - The Brazil Report, with research assistance from Similarweb. Daily tracking shows many new Bluesky users are sticking with the app, so far.
