@manton the schools run papers/homework through checkers like they have for decades checking for plagiarism. The real problem is that students can miss learning important skills, like looking at search results and determining which websites are credible and which arenā€™t.

@manton I started using Categories to automate management of collections, like podcasts, instead of my old way of manually updating a single page of links. With the podcasts specifically, the page load time is getting long with 276 episodes.

@manton Can I get your professional opinion? My middle school son has been coding with blocks since Christmas.

@manton Iā€™m using their ancient built-in plugin. I donā€™t think it has any export functionality and really hasnā€™t received meaningful updates since ~2018. I used to be very active in the Rapidweaver community and I might be the most active blog plugin user in the world; itā€™s pretty much abandoned. I can export the site to a local folder, and it gives me a .php file for every blog post. I donā€™t think an importer is really worth your time because Iā€™m sure Iā€™m in a very, very small group that would need this functionality, if itā€™s even possible.

I have all of my blog posts in Ulysses, so my workflow is to publish them all from there. The redirects would be great, but Iā€™m still moving to m.b even if I canā€™t do them because this is a huge body of work and I want it on a modern platform thatā€™s going to last.

I saw your blog on the updated the policy on reclaiming unused usernames. Iā€™ve emailed support three times (May, August, and November) about trying to get two names for my kidsā€™ blogs, but didnā€™t hear back. I know your support inbox has been overwhelming with everything else going on in your life!

\n

I wanted to message you directly to see if I can get these usernames claimed, if possible, so they can have their place on the web secured.
