Managing it after is I believe the bigger problem.

I can agree with you and still be baffled by that response. Knowing the tech underlying a blog and saying using an SSG on a Raspberry Pi is simple are different things.

Seconded. Already breathing easier as well. Also, a good example of the sort of attitude we've come to expect from WP folks, and from which the sudden Pro-plan changes departed.

Out of curiosity, what would you use to build nixCraft if you had to start over?

Free is never free but why does free have to go from quite non-shitty to shitty overnight for no discernible reason? The point is here that "just here to blog" bloggers like me have been able to pay WP to have a custom domain, som

It was, right? I hope anyone who's considering designing an alternative keeps this in mind. It was one of the best things about WordPress.com. This is also why I'm currently considering micro.blog.

The block editor has been called out for technical problems often but I feel the writing experience it offers should be discussed as well. For example cursor behaviour in the block editor is unpredictable, and with large posts the bloody th

I think it matters whether or not the amount was explicit, that's not clear in the post. Also, based on the (inexplicably) one time the author mentions the candidate was Indian, it's plausible the latter was wary of being exploite
