This is a post of the CogDogBlog Federated Publishing System. This is only a test. Nah, it;s a real blog post! But my last post was not published to the Fediverse and the kind folks who make the software and actually respond like humans suggested the newest version of the ActivityPub plugin should make amends.

Bring on the victory cheer! Now two months into the 18th round of Daily Photos posted to flickr and keeping pace with a 28/28 February on top of 31/31 January. The 2025/365 photo games remains STRONG. The month shows the winter scenes (a long stretch where we saw the place where Fahrenheit meets Celsius), yet […]
Today I am wearing my Get Federated t-shirt as my attire as a guest on an Open Education Week panel on “Where are OER conversations happening anymore?” I sing of a Bridge over some kind of waters: Oh, social media gets brokenAnd followers just can’t be foundLike a bridgy over federated networksI will connect me […]

Let’s hold of the self-congratulations… nope, it’s on. I am one month into the 18th year of (trying to do) taking/posting daily photos to flickr, yes 2025/365 is game on. Like who’s counting?
