  1. @Mastodon

    Hey @dave, with #WordPress, @activitypub.blog and #PostFormats activated, you can also write long-term (WP standard) posts and asides (or create quote, image, video content).

  2. #HomeBrewWebsiteClub

    Nun, dies wird eine längere Ein- bzw. Herleitung. Durch Zufall wurde ich auf den KrautPress Website Club aufmerksam. Aufgrund von örtlicher Abwesenheit konnte ich bis dato die ersten zwei Termine nur zuhören und nicht teilnehmen, trotzdem nahm ich den Hinweis auf die Aktion #SoSollWeb von Annette Schwindt wahr.

    Aha - I bet there are Tumblr themes with good examples!

  5. Any #Wordpress folks (devs or fans) have modern examples of well styled #asides or #chats?

    I decided to finally explore #PostFormats - asides could be a cool way to display certain toots in WordPress.

    I’m pretty sure they fell out of favor in the last decade thanks to #Google’s stranglehold on #SEO and every post needing ‘250-300’ words to make the big G happy.
