  • I’m not sure which of these is the right option for importing an RSS feed from another blog into my micro.blog? Ideally it would just post to my timeline with the title and link to the actual blog post (on my Ghost blog for example). Any suggestions? @help

  • It’s not just snowing out there today, it’s snowing. April 17th can suck a duck.

  • One of my biggest (only?) complaints about using Ghost is that the dashboard I see when I log in is a giant reminder that I have 2 official “members” (one is me) and I continue to have $0 in monthly recurring revenue. I didn’t plan to make money off it.

  • Now that I’ve got my blog moved over and properly set up, I finally updated my uses page. I still keep getting the old version of the page when I look at it, but I’m trusting that the cache has been broken for the rest of the world. 😆

  • My dad charging his MacBook Pro in the most convenient way possible because Staples only had a 2ft USB C cable in stock they were selling for $50 (!!). 🤦‍♂️😜

  • I don’t know, I feel like this filter really nails my aesthetic. (That aesthetic being a fake filter with poorly chosen thumbnails trying to make a funny on the internet.)

    Thumbnail from a tiktok video with heavy eye liner and eyelash filter that gives me very smoky looking eyes. With one eye oddly closed it’s not a very flattering freeze frame.

  • If you’re trying to use Ghost with Cloudflare DNS, make sure you set the Proxy status to DNS only.

  • I’m trying out Beeper, but it feels like, as with these “all your chat app in one app” apps, it has the worst UI of all of the apps combined.

  • Cleaning always sends me deep into the emotional side of my brain.

    Doing just enough with my hands to so I can’t be distracted by a book or phone, and enough time for my brain to dig into the darker corners that don’t get as much attention day to day.

  • After 8+ months of bashing my head against a VS Code window, I somehow managed to move my blog over to Ghost.

    Hopefully the DNS cache has propagated by the time you maybe click the link. 🙏

  • I love having a portable set up so I can work from anywhere. 😜

  • I did a calculation just to hurt my brain: what years would my youngest’s “Mad Men” series be based on if they watched it at the same age as I did.

    It would be based on 1998-2005 era life. 👴🏼

  • After a week with kids at home all day, everyone is finally out of the house for the final couple hours today. What will I do with all this mental time and space? 🤩

  • This little filter is the magic behind so many garbage (and even moderately ok) recordings that run through my Logic Pro set up.

    Just getting my existence validated and verified by the internet. 👋

  • I’m loving working around inside Ghost CMS' UI, but this dialogue box makes me want to throw my computer into the ocean.

    No context. No support doc link. Clearly never used by someone trying to actually move content into Ghost that isn’t a power user / developer wizard.

  • I still don’t understand how people actually live in cities like Boston, New York, London, San Francisco, Sydney, Mexico City, etc. Those are imaginary places that exist in movies, books, and tv series - not in real life.

  • Why is RSS not an option for importing content from one blog CMS to another? It has every detail you need for content of blog posts and yet it’s rare for a CMS to offer that as an import option.

    In podcasting, that’s the default option for how to move your podcast to another podcast host.

  • It’s not a good day to look at Twitter in Canada when this is trending. 😆🤦‍♂️

  • One fun aspect of podcast editing as a solo business is when you find out a client has moved on because you see a new episode pop up in their feed that you didn’t work on.
