Aaron is wondering about Jetpack after reading Doug’s post about privacy. The post is fascinating and a useful reminder. On the Jetpack front I’ve got Jetpack installed but the “Publicize connections” & “Sharing buttons” turned off. I don’t see any traffic going to Facebook using two of the tool’s that Doug suggests. Perhaps Jetpack is OK? Or I don’t really know how to use the tools.
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)I wonder if the idea of what constitutes blogging is different for different people in different points in time? I wonder if it is as simple as talking about ‘posts’ and ‘blogs’? Or maybe what I doing here with post kinds is even blogging at all?

I think blogging is a good description of what you are doing Aaron. Since I installed Alan’s Posted Today plugin I’ve been re visiting a lot of ancient posts here. Lots of my early blogging consisted of notes, bookmarks, replies and likes. Just not formerly organised into kinds.
I voted for Posts.
Back to School – Engaging with the NEW NORMAL http://throughthewindae.com/back-to-school/
Fascinating read. Going to be a very useful starting point to to thinking about August 11, albeit my circumstances are very different. Delighted to see it coming to my RSS reader via ScotEduBlogs. Hopefully blogging is part of the new normal.
Aaron Davis (collect.readwriterespond.com)One of the things that I have found useful is recording comments on my own site. For sites that use Webmentions, comments are automagically notified, however for others – like your own – I copy and paste the content. These reply posts add another dot to join together, to link to and build upon.
Preparing for meeting with class this afternoon, squashing images with ImageOptim. Back when I started teaching pupils to blog the first thing I taught them was to resize images for faster upload & download. We relay on bandwidth & servers now, not sure if that is an advance?

Watched: Parasite ★★★☆☆ enjoyed it but was not blown away. Didn’t hang together enough for me. Preferred Shoplifters which had a similar start. My wife noted similarities to The Servant 🎬
10 years ago today I had my First couple of days with an iPad. Found via one of my favourite WordPress plugins @cogdog’s wp-posted-today. A reminder of who my blog is for, me. Mining old thoughts is fascinating.
