My Website

I’ve decided to switch back to WordPress. This was based on the strength of 2 plugins I really want to be using again: “Friends” and “ActivityPub”. i miss the connection to other people and the interactions I used to have off of the back of some of my posts and gaming photos.

I’m still finding inline styles in old posts from my time with WordPress and it’s guttenberg editor. I like the idea of the guttenberg editor, but gosh if it doesnt bloat the fuck out of your html. I’m now on ClassicPress which is WordPress, if WordPress hadnt gone down the swanny.

How I share videos on my website

Hmm. Seems that when my posts appear in fediverse, I am hit with that Ddos effect off all connected instances requesting my page at the same time. This may only be for posts with images attached so I’m going to try and switch to using a plugin to offload my media on to Digital Ocean…
