Despite the shift to this ornery block editor (I have made my peace with it but still regularly cuss at it) and avoiding full site editing, I still love ya WordPress. Always. Mostly. I have noticed something for a while. WordPress does not like hanging out waiting for you in open tabs. Many times over […]
Once again in the “spent too much time creating a clever title” department, I am here not to delve into Foucault analysis (and I had to look that one up). I can take the opening Wikipedia line on the article as “Discourse is a generalization of the notion of a conversation to any form of […]
Look at the capital letter R. Just snap off the front leg, and now you are a P. In the world of Open Educational Resources, the five Rs are like chapter/verse of the induction, repeat after me: The right to Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix, Redistribute… Pick your source https://www.google.com/search?q=oer+5+rs Apparently things get a bit more […]
My use of experiment is more the try “to learn something” in the definition than a well-designed test “done in order to learn something or to discover if something works or is true.” This is also framed in my ongoing wrestling with the conference experience that is (to quote myself) overly “presentationally oriented.” Compound this […]
I have been lazy in not getting into the IndieWeb game here, but look who is catching up! I activate the Activity Pub plugin but no idea how it knows who I am in Mastodon- this post gave me the clue that is not listed elsewhere- in my WordPress profile at the bottom is a […]
Ahhh the glory days of blog syndication, it seemed about all I wrote about at one time. It’s been eons since I set up a Feed WordPress enabled site. maybe NetNarr was the last. But the stuff still works- the main DS106 site, where it all started for me, pretty much untended, keeps flowing along […]
Hello WordPress editor, has it really been 24 days since cracking you open here at el cogdogblog dot com? Indeed yes. With the world ongoing plodding into now a regular incertitude I have found myself stuck on several fronts, the daily photo habot has sputtered into a bi-weekly catch-up. So what else is there to […]
Am I off my blog game or what? Can I blame Musk? Nahhh. D’Arcy Norman is on his game, and he observed how old his blog is– 20 years! That was my nudge to check my own blog birth stamp, and find, as often in my career I copied Mr Norman (soon to be Dr?). […]
WordPress is WordPress, correct? Well… apparently not. This is a WordPress.org self hosted blog, eh? So like the documentation suggests With the WordPress Embed block, you can embed WordPress posts into your posts and pages. https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-embed I ought to be able to embed a post published on my WP.com site? No. WordPress here does not […]
With time and the accretion of stuff that accumulate from years of tossing things on the web, again and again I stub my toe happily onto very small bits of serendipity that quietly sits there, doing it’s own, unnoticed bit of marvelousity (yes web editor red underline, I made up my own word). Note: This […]
