    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.Ā 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. šŸ˜…

    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. Continue reading →

    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. ]

    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. Continue reading →

    Food for thought

    The Internet in 2020. Can you see the problem? I don’t know what they think when they ā€œdesignā€ these web sites but… and what you don’t see is a giant popup pushed on you taking over the only portion of actual information. GTFO of these sites, fast.Ā

    Oh. My. God. šŸ˜³šŸ˜ How on earth I wasn’t aware about this great utility for macOS: CleanShot X? Fully featured, cleanly designed, with a lot of use cases for me. A cross between Apple’s builtin screen capture and Screencast. Instant buy. Side note: I never bought that many apps since the beginning of the great confinement. Second side note: it isn’t an ad. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø CleanShot X for Mac Continue reading →

    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

    Speaking of iPadOS 13.4 with pointer support… my favourite writing app Ulysses just received an update. Using the trackpad to swipe left and right to show or hide panes is brilliant. 🄰

    Using LumaFusion with the Magic Keyboard is really cool but I can’t wait for the updated version that takes advantage of the trackpad. Oh and editing 4K videos on an iPad Pro is incredibly fast! šŸ™ƒ

    The Magic Keyboard makes me want a bigger iPad. But at the same time I know I would miss the smaller size. Oh well.

    I’m getting good numbers on @Medium as an indie writer. But as much as I like it so far, I’m not sure they always do a great job of selecting which theme or channel a story is being pushed over. Do they look at the categories the author selects?

    To FaceTime users, did your usage of it increased because of your confinement? If not, why? What are your pain points with FaceTime as it is today? Working on a blog post about this. Thanks.Ā
