Notes

I wonder what ever happened to Micro @monday? The last entry was more than a year ago. I think it was a great Micro.blog community builder.

What kind of stuff do I like to do on a Sunday morning? Fork Manton’s Micro.blog Recommends plugin so I can update my own Recommends page the way I want it to look. If you’re a Micro.blog user and like the tabular format, let me know. I’ll release it as an official plugin.

I kind of like you can make home screen icons in iOS 18 larger and the labels disappear now, but I really wish there were a way to hide app labels AND keep icons their original size. I feel old(er) rocking the large icons…

I decided to alias my Mastodon account from mastodon.social over to social.lol where all the cool kids seem to be hanging out these days. I lost about 50 followers in the move, but that’s okay. I’m on a better instance this way.

I added my Micro.Masonry plugin to the Micro.blog plugin directory this morning (well, last night and updated this morning). If you’re looking for a nice masonry style layout for your Micro.blog photos page that’s mobile responsive, give it a look.

For reasons unknown to me, my Tinylytics plugin for WordPress has had (what I’d call) a large spike in downloads over the last few days. Not that it matters much… It’s just interesting to see it.

Now that I’ve moved to just one site on Micro.blog, I’m thinking long and hard again about “going all in” and aliasing my Mastodon username back here. If I do, maybe I can make it stick this time. I’ll ruminate on it through the day, and then make a decision tonight.

I shared this nugget a while back, but it’s worth sharing again… If you have a domain you’d like to forward to another domain with just a simple DNS modification, I totally recommend ForwardDomain.net to accomplish it.

The move from WordPress to Micro.blog is now complete…

  • Content I wanted to keep has been imported.
  • Backup of assets from VPS taken and archived.
  • DNS records updated.
  • VPS decommissioned and deleted.
  • Domain forwarding for .dev to .org TLD confirmed.
