I’ve hit the wildest bug in WordPress I wonder if it is the fact that the posts contain replies? If so, this too will not show up.

The thing I made is a page that lists all the sites that have WebMentioned OpenMentions, and another thing that lists all the comments from each site. (For example) It’s unlikely to win any beauty awards, but it is fully functional. NGL, there were a fair few moments of “Why don’t you work?” and “Huh, that’s not what I asked for!”, usually followed by, “Oh, yeah, that makes sense, I’ve been a dummy”. I can now confirm that WordPress rewrite rules are not for the faint of heart. If you ask…

My last posts are Schrodinger’s post – they both do and do not exist. Here is my blog, where the front page and the post listings show that the last post was a quip about AI. Here is also my blog showing that there are two more posts after that. For those in Fedi-l

I made a list randomiser. Sometimes at Thanet Creative: Writers’ night, we occasionally get a spectacularly large turnout. To be fair, we’ve taken to randomly drawing names from a proverbial hat to choose the order in which we read writers’ work. Whoever did not get read that week is guaranteed first read the next week.

I am such a silly. I was talking to my friend on the phone and thought I had better check my blood sugar levels using the app on my phone. I could not find my phone and started to panic. You know, the thing in my hand. (My blood sugar was 6.3 mmol/L, for the […]
