An improvement to the way Little Outliner works for publishing. Now you can use it to write how-to documents like the ones I write for my products. Like the outline you're reading right now.

This is misguided. Gardening is a practice that treats a personal website as a constantly evolving landscape where you develop your ideas in public.
I like this though. I think of my blog as a garden, I plant new stuff, tidy up the old, sometimes and poke around.
In this episode, Josepha is joined by the co-founder and project lead of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg. Tune in to hear Matt and Josepha discuss the relaunch of CC Search (Openverse) in WordPress and t…
Openverse sounds like a great idea, a built in Creative Commons search to the WordPress media library would be great for Glow Blogs.

Very clever way to show data FB collects.
I've said this a million times. One more time won't hurt. Podcasting was created so everyone can make media. It was designed, deliberately, without gatekeepers. To have a podcast, you have to have a public RSS feed with enclosures. That's why you hear at the end of podcasts, "You can get this where ever you get podcasts."

There’s a sense in which the great outdoors and what we get out of it is already mediated by decades worth of technology, not to mention presentations via art and the mass media.
I’ve found my phone a useful tool for navigating the natural world, not only as a method of finding where I am but of recording that and identifying my surroundings and neighbours. Trails, PlantNet and PeakFinder Are some of my favourites along with the camera and an audio recorder.
