Finding The Right WordPress Support System | Tom McFarlin
Trying to find the best WordPress support system is tough. I share my thoughts about what it should look like, what I’ve tried, and solicit recommendations.
WordPress is not easy

Embracing open social blogging in the Atmosphere (and less traditional social media)
debbieohi.leaflet.pubOne thing I look for in a blogging platform (whether atproto or otherwise): a way of backing up/exporting my content. This is more important to me than being able to tweak design/fonts etc. Have learned this from hard experience; I've used manymany blogging platforms over the decades.
