  1. abc.micro.blog (must be unique to Micro.blog). ↩︎

Introducing the Numeric Citizen Hub, a brand new landing page1. Thanks to the recently introduced “One-page website” feature on Micro.blog, you can now learn about the places I share my creativity right from a single place2. Enjoy.

  1. It will replace my Linktr.ee page once my subscription ends, in December of 2024. 🙂 ↩︎

  2. I know that some of you might think: well, another website from Numeric Citizen! 😃 ↩︎

I’m thinking of leaving Write.as. Last year, I purchased a 5-year subscription during a promotion, intending to use it extensively. However, I haven’t used it as much as I anticipated. My main focus was writing about the Ukraine war. I could migrate this to Micro.blog. Yet, I’m concerned that my views on the conflict might offend some people here, as not everyone is interested in politics. 🤔🧐

Installed the brand new Micro.blog plugin to enable the /newsletters page on my website. This enables an index page of past newsletters that were sent to my subscribers! Thanks to @manton!

My Micro.blog timeline being a bit too busy to my liking, I decided to disable replies from people I don’t follow. It’s much better now. I might turn it back on eventually. This option shouldn’t be in the account section but should be more easily accessible. Would like to get a static toolbar at the bottom.

I’m a bit sad 😔 that this post, “Dear Micro.blog - How Can I Help” didn’t get the expected traction. I don’t know why. Maybe it fell between the cracks of a busy Micro.blog timeline. But this morning, I’m trying something different by explicitly tagging my virtual friends cc @jean @manton

Made a tweak to this blog: using the Footer field of the Design section (on a Micro.blog feature), I added a footer to each individual post that adds links to my other websites and my Mastodon handle. It’s a mixture of HTML and CSS. I took advantage of MacGPT to learn what was needed. I know a bit about HTML but not enough about CSS. My “assistant” helped me, again.
