Don't avoid plugins - The Theme Foundry – WordPress themes for publishers
If you’re ever interested in the pain points associated with WordPress, you should ask someone in the trenches of providing technical or customer support. We’ve heard it all, over and over again. One recurring theme I’ve noted since my tenure in the support forums is this: users are afraid of installing plugins. The original tickets […]
WordPress themes, the GPL and the conundrum of derivative works - WP AND LEGAL STUFF
Meet ‘theme’ In the beginning (of WordPress that is) there was no separate theming system as we know it today. Rather, the theming system that we now know and love was added in version 1.5 (“Strayhorn”), in February 2005, and has been enhanced numerous times since then. Today, the humble theme – responsible for the layout, look and feel of a site – is a key and swappable component of virtually every WordPress installation and, as most WordPress users know, for those who don’t wish to develop their own theme there is a dazzling array of readily available themes to choose from. Evolution of commercial themes and their licensing As WordPress became more and more popular and as people began to see and leverage its value, it was inevitable that new business models would emerge. One such business model was the development and sale of premium/commercial themes.

My thoughts on how Ghost might join Fediverse

WTF Is Happening to Delivery Apps?
The Github Tax (I can't believe they actually did this...)
xbill — what would this cost on X?
Same fetch, X's rate card: $5/1000 posts, $10/1000 profiles. Free here.

Don’t Like It? Code it Yourself!
Have you ever considered paying for, or sponsoring, a * bug fix * new feature * plugin * small tweak to existing functionality ... for software that you use? I don’t mean waiting for a new release of the software, which will contain a bunch of new features you may or may not care
Help fund our lil indie operation! Larger legacy communities on Discord can now pay $30/month to unlock live bridging at scale for the purpose of either safe-keeping or incrementally transitioning their community to Roomy and the atmosphere. should we add a $5/month good-vibes-only supporter plan?
Roomy Pro
blog.roomy.spaceSure seems like there’s nothing stopping @ghost.org from hopping on board the AT train now at very low dev cost. Would love for our existing Ghost blog to magically turn @standard.site compatible overnight.

My first Leaflet!! You can now publish TO @standard.site lexicons from @astro.build sites using my new plugin! As sites like @pckt.blog and @leaflet.pub and @offprint.app add support for the site.standard lexicon, this plugin will let you publish to and pull from those other sites! #atproto #atdev

Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue
