Natural Log – January 17

\n

Day 2 of transition from 70s to 40s—perhaps there will be a bit of winter after all, now that there are blooms? Small flock of about 2 doz red-winged blackbirds stopped by feeder, birdbath, & nearby trees this afternoon. Venus bright in SW sky tonight.

@eurobubba Frustratingly, there’s nothing on the Help site (or on @til or even Manton’s blog, that I can tell) about this, but you can toggle cross-posting off, make the post, and toggle cross-posting back on.

That’s in the “gear” button on the post screen in the iOS (and I presume Mac) app, or via the web at Account, Edit Feeds and Cross-posting.

@macgenie @Nataliekayh Really fun episode, thanks! It was a whole different perspective having someone (relatively) new to Micro.blog on the podcast. (Believe it or not, @Burk already has the 👶 emoji on his list as a suggestion for a tagmoji; I thought 🙏 had made an appearace at one point, but maybe not. And it is funny how there are all those sports tagmojis, but they’re not as active as books/music/movies/tv are on a regular basis…)

\n\n

Glad to see the transcript appearing again, too (there’s a missing Jean: right after Natalie tells you not to edit the AppCamp stuff out, and another one later where you say \"Yes, I know”. And I think “tag motif” is transcription-speak for “tagmoji” 😂).

@Ron 😊 Yes, I am at least a 4th generation gardener. My grandmother had this enormous, nearly floor-to-ceiling window in her living room (with 10' ceilings), which gave her a great view of all the avian goings-on in the front yard, including at one of the feeders. One of her favorite things to do was to just sit there and watch, and it was always a delight for me, too, when I would visit 🐦

@DTSteele What do you mean by “link the timeline of my Micro.blog account to my WordPress blog”?

\n\n

Do you want your posts that are on dtsteele.micro.blog to show up on 2020nature.wordpress.com, or something else?

\n\n

If the former, there are two different options (both dicey because of the WordPress.com plan/fee structure, alas):

\n\n

1) sidebar.js can show your posts in a sidebar (or some other spot) on your WP blog (this is what @JohnPhilpin mentioned; it’s display-only)
\n2) Feed Importer for Micro.blog from @michal fetches your posts and imports them as posts into your WP blog

\n\n

We have a bunch of resources for using WordPress with Micro.blog in the wiki—though mostly they’re geared to self-hosted WordPress sites (or top-tier WordPress.com plans where you can actually customize things and install plugins….)
