What is WordPress?

WordPress is a popular open-source content management system (CMS) and website-building platform. It provides a user-friendly interface and a set of tools that allow individuals, businesses, bloggers, and organizations to create, manage, and customize websites and online content without requiring advanced technical skills.

At its core, WordPress consists of two main components:

WordPress.org (Self-Hosted)

WordPress.org is the official website where you can download the WordPress software for free. With this self-hosted version, you have complete control over your website. You need to find a web hosting provider and a domain name to install and run WordPress on your server. This version provides more flexibility and customization options.

WordPress.com (Hosted)

WordPress.com is a hosting service provided by the creators of WordPress. It offers an easier way to create a website without the need for separate hosting and domain setup. However, it comes with some limitations compared to the self-hosted version, such as fewer customization options and restrictions on using third-party plugins and themes.

Key Features and Concepts of WordPress

Themes

Themes are pre-designed templates that control the appearance and layout of your website. WordPress offers a wide range of themes, both free and premium, that cater to various industries and design preferences.

Plugins

Plugins are add-ons that extend the functionality of your WordPress website. They allow you to add specific features without coding from scratch. There are plugins for SEO optimization, e-commerce, contact forms, security, and more.

Content Creation and Management

WordPress provides a user-friendly editor for creating and managing different types of content, such as blog posts, pages, images, videos, and multimedia.

Customization

WordPress allows for extensive customization. You can modify colors, fonts, layouts, and more to match your brand or personal style.

Responsive Design

Most WordPress themes are designed to be responsive, ensuring that your website looks and functions well on various devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that you care about my silence and my absence.

Honestly seeing @photomatt burning everything he has with the Wordpress community AFTER his infamous "car covered in hammers" breakdown here where he banned a trans girl from Tumblr and then went to another site to harass her is so funny.

Like damn when did you decide to be a complete shithead about literally every blogging platform you own, created, or are involved in

It’s such a damming lawsuit too and he’s continuing his famous strategy of never shutting the fuck up and posting through it what a fucking moron

i hope my misadventures aren't dissuading anyone from making their own website as a patreon alternative, when i first did this back in 2016/2017 it was actually pretty painless so most of the issues i am having right now are based on the fact that i already have a site with content and members that i don't want to lose or fuck over

more specifically i originally set it up with a service that did most of the hard stuff for me, which meant that when they changed from a free service that took a cut to a paid service that still took a cut it really fucked me

if i'd done just a teeeeensy bit more work in the beginning i would be doing much less work right now, which is the actual lesson you should be taking away from my Agonies

i am once again gravitating towards substack as a writing platform (<- someone who has never been consistent with posting her writing on any website ever)

Are you kidding me

[missgryffin]

I have to be honest, I'm not having a good feeling about Tumblr 😢 (x, x, x, and x if you haven't heard). I love having a blog so much, so I'll be here going down with this ship �� But do we make some contingency plans? Should I set up a discord? Is blogger still a thing? (And still free?) I'm more so wanting to have a sense of what I might do in the event we wake up one morning and Tumblr is just…gone/broken lol. Please let me know your thoughts/ideas!!

What is the internet missing now that makes it so boring?

Everything is a social feed.

"Communities" are too big. They are just a different type of social feed. From Reddit to Tumblr, every community is huge, dissolute, and full of bots. There is no gatekeeping and its destroyed any possibility of community. Discord chats are OK, but chats are in essence a subset of feed when there are 1k+ members and only a handful of people know each other.

There is no way out of the social feed DeviantArt for example had standalone pages for each art submission, blog like "journals," and fairly static block-built personal pages, shops and small guilds with galleries and personal forums/chats.

NO ONE is doing it for the love of the game. Everyone (including me tbh) wants to sell something instead of cataloguing their mad spiral into obsession with their special interest. All personal pages are just a route to a different social media or a shop.

Like for the love of GOD I am so bored and it's because we are drowning in social soup

Because I'm after a craft more time-intensive than that of hand-sewing doll clothing, I've embarked on a two-part tutorial series showing how I give my Barbie dolls pride-themed (or pride-coordinating) embroidery floss hair.

Today's post details materials, hair fibres, glue, paint, preparing a doll's head and planning out pride stripes.
