I think I just found my winter break project. I have a collection of plugins on my site that handles syndication. Would be really nice to bundle it up in a PHPNomad Package. Looks like Bluesky really easy to set up.

Bluesky + Mastodon are the last pieces of the puzzle to allow me to publish from my mobile without actually having the app on my phone. This will allow me to stay connected with the world, but still allow me to keep social as “a place” instead of an omnipresent part of my life.

I’m on a mission to get social media off of my phone, but I still want to be able to publish content. I don’t want to consume on my phone though.
I think if I can get a Twitter cross poster working reliably, my site plus the WordPress app can get me there.

Finding myself increasingly interested in updating my site so that it maps post formats to post types. So if you set a post format, it saves it as a mapped post type.
I think that would give me all of the benefits of multiple post types, but still make it possible to use post types in the mobile app. This would make it a lot easier to filter post types since you don’t have to use a tax query.

Here’s a chart of my search analytics for my personal site over the last year. Can you tell when I switched back to non headless WordPress?
I know headless can be SEO optimized, but in my experience, WordPress makes it effortless, comparatively speaking.

With some clever filters in my server, I can now use the WordPress app to reply to posts. It’s a little awkward since I have to copy the link, but still…a step in the right direction.

Okay. Caching problems fixed. Unclear if the blog post formatting issue is fixed though. Hoping that excerpts will show with a link to the post when it’s not a micro post 🤞

Federating My Website
This post explores how I’ve added enhancements to my site to better-integrate with the Fediverse, and also how I’m using the Mastodon app to publish content direct to my WP site (!)

Holy shit. There’s a plugin that allows you to publish on your blog using Mastodon apps. You can now publish content on your WordPress site directly through the mastodon app. This is HUGE for mobile experience.

So blog is directly on the fediverse now! Moving forward this should auto-boost to my existing profile on Mastodon so I can still share with my followers there, but I no longer need to manually cross post. Still have to manually share on X, but one step at a time.
once @pfefferle makes progress on the migration from Mastodon, maybe I can completely switch off that account. Getting closer!
PS: I’m Using the booster plugin – going to share a PR soon to help with the stumbling points I had in using the plugin.
