Updated the snow-fall web component on my #11ty based site to intensify each day based on the days date. Today is the 9th so it will have a snow fall value of 900 and tomorrow 1000.

Refactored my personal #11ty site today to stop using shortcodes for images. Using native MD tags now - thanks to @bobmonsour https://www.bobmonsour.com/posts/going-all-in-with-native-markdown/

Big snag on the way - had to rename a load of images to lowercase, but then had to rename then because Github was happy to keep the uppercase ones! Took a while to work out why Netlify was failing the builds yet locally all was ok.

Going all in with 'native' markdown

I've been typing way too much. There are simpler ways to use markdown for images and tables of contents. Here's how I'm doing it.

Last week, something really special happened. I had my first-ever SEO public speaking opportunity. I joined #SEOOfficeHours on their 50th episode and shared my views and knowledge alongside the wonderful Carmen Domínguez Rodríguez.

I'm so grateful to Michael Chidzey and Jo Juliana Turnbull for this amazing opportunity.

And thank you to the lovely @simoncox and @ilovechoclates_ for their support before, during and after the call.

The recording is now up on YouTube

I wanted to close this bank account and I got to know that it requires a fee. I was like Wtf bro?
I spent 25% of my life working on Mastodon. It's kind of wild when you think about it. When I started, Google+ was still around. We're doing what one of the most resourceful companies in the world couldn't do. It's not easy. It's always easier to just build A Website, then slap some ads on it. But the fediverse is the long game.
We may not be the biggest by numbers yet, but Mastodon (and the fediverse) has proven itself to be an effective and reliable communications platform over the course of the last 8 years, and does not depend on venture capital to survive. The #fediverse is the future.
Mastodon is benefitting from the #X exodus (eXodus?) too: The official app downloads are up 47% on iOS and 17% on Android. Sign-ups are up approx. 27% compared to previous month with about 90K new accounts, while the MAU has jumped to 894K (across all Mastodon servers).

#seo #Bluesky has gone absolutely wild over the past few days! I'd rather they all came here but small steps and the good thing is that they are leaving Twitter, finally!

There have been some outages today but just read that was a cable at a suppliers that got dug up!

Apart from listening to songs all day, I am listening to podcasts a lot more than I used to. I am not sure why, but I like it, lol.
Is Bluesky down lol?
