Day #1 of my Ghost experiment. Simple CMS. Well designed. A bit desoriented at first, coming from WordPress. No iOS / iPadOS app. Not good. macOS app not really native. Relies on Zapier for basic cross-posting stuff.
Just finished consolidating all my blogger workflow updates on a single page. You can find it here: [numericcitizen.me/about/how...](https://numericcitizen.me/about/how-is-it-done/)
Contemplating Ghost as an alternative to what I’m currently using and … this critical vulnerability impacting all of their services is not very a good first contact.

My blogger workflow just got updated. [numericcitizen.me/2020/05/0...](https://numericcitizen.me/2020/05/02/my-updated-blogger-workflow-as-of-2020-05/)
Let's try this again!
Well, cross-posting from MB to WP with IFTTT is a no go. Now, testing a much cleaner solution, a WP plugin which allow a better control over what is imported and how it is inserted into WP. I’m currently testing the whole process as I write this. Posts are inserted in Draft mode so I can release them as I wish.
If it works as expected, I’ll be able to keep my main blog in sync with very specific content that I put here with minimal efforts.
Well, cross-posting from Micro.blog to WordPress via IFTTT doesn’t work. IFTTT is having issues creating the post as draft. I don’t know why. On top of that, I’m afraid of creating a loop as my posts on WordPress are automatically cross-posted to Micro.blog. 😅

Starting a small experiment
Up until now, I didn’t want to have my posts on **Micro.blog** to show up on my main blog on **WordPress**. But since I’m posting ten times more here than on my main blog, I have a feeling my readers are missing a lot. So, starting today, I’s starting a small experiment. Some of my posts here will be cross-posted to my main blog with the help of IFTTT. I’ll see where this goes.
I’m sill undecided on the cross-post format: full content replication or just linked-post.

One quick question: is it possible to cross-post from Micro.blog to my WordPress blog?
[Update: I think I have to use IFTTT, something that I already use a lot. ]
Still far from fully recovered from Google's search algorithm changes of last November
Last day of April. Time to look back at this month's stats. It was a great month for my main blog visitors but still far away of full recovery of the big Google search crash of last November. I wonder if I will every recover from it, despite all my efforts to write fewer but longer and higher quality posts. On a brighter side, I’m faring much much better on Medium. (xpost)
A great summary of Ulysses version 19 release by MacStories. As a blogger, I’m loving Ulysses more and more. 😃 Ulysses 19 Brings iPad Cursor Support, External Folders, Material Sheets, and More - MacStories
