Last Night at the May Meetup

Last night at our May meetup even, Jaymie, Niña, and Leanne shared their capstone project for the DMIT program at NAIT. Next month we'll be hearing from another DMIT graduate and member of the Meetup, John Jovero. John is going to talk about WooCommerce and demo a site he's built. Come ready to dig in with technical questions!

WP YEG joins the Fediverse

Because I hope it makes us the target of friendly "DDoS" attacks, I finally installed and activated the ActivityPub plugin on WPYEG.org, allowing it to interact with the Fediverse like a Mastodon account. I also added the Friends and Webmention plugins, which facilitate decentralized interactions, creating a community-focused platform. Lots of details about that plus other WordPress news and hacking around.
