Just a quick post here to reference what I posted on the Connected Courses site as part of the “pre-course” unit September 2 to 14 I am co-doing with Jim Groom and Howard Rheingold. This is the equivalent of what we used to do in ds106 as “Boot Camp” (probably a metaphor not useful worldwide) […]
Just to keep the blog reflexes flexing, this is a brain dump recap of me having enjoyed a session yesterday being on the Reclaim Hosting video chat session Blogging Community of Practice. Is that the right link or is it this one? Anyhow, Maren and Jim et al invited me to blab about “Blogging in […]
What could be more traditional than the time honored blogging about blogging? Oh, oh, oh, Mr. Kotter call in me! What about blabbing live online about blogging? That’s the beauty oh what is just a part of Reclaim Hosting’s Blogging Community of Practice, notably the “On Writing” series on Reclaim.tv that Jim Groom et al […]
Given the faithful rising to the Reverend’s Come to Bava call to Blog or Die I want to pick up on the followup invocation of Always Be Commenting. I’ve long clung to the idea that the scope of blogging is not just what you publish on your site but how you contribute, participate to others […]

This post is here mostly as I expect to forget this tidbit. Human memory freshness dwindles exponentially. Over in my work at the OpenETC I wrote a guide for using the Display Posts plugin.

And I’ve been behind on blogging about much of it. Gotta pick up the blog. Sometime before March I got a message from Paul Stacey, who I’ve […]
There’s not much middle ground on people feel about the changes wrought to WordPress 5 with the Gutenberg Editor. It’s endless rabbit/duck season arguments. The people who love Gutenberg without qualms are Matt Mullenweg and the people who still work for WordPress trying to make the thing work. The people who hate Gutenberg are pretty […]
Many people (not here) see blogging as a thing of the past; most of the regular ones I was reading back in the early to mid 2000s have fallen silent or just vanished. Insert whatever theory you have. This one keeps going, no let up since it’s start in 2003. Here is but one small […]
Somewhere down there on the footer of this blog are some random quotes related to blogging… well actually they are quotes about writing that I have subverted for my own felonious pleasure.
