Is WordPress Jetpack Plugin Needed?

WordPress Jetpack

Is WordPress Jetpack Plugin Worth Using? I’ve noticed with its latest release that it is tying wordpress.com into my blog, which I already knew about. But with the current version, It’s offering to sign in with its mothership. And are all the add-on goodies Jetpack is plugging needed? I ditched Jetpack because the mobile app wouldn’t connect with this blog. I gave up trying to debug my site. Jetpack was working fine until its last update.

Parler Social Media Website, Did It Go Belly Up?

Parler Social Media

Yesterday I clicked on a bookmark for the Parler Social Media website but the page soon timed out. Curios what happened to Parler I fired off a Tweet asking what happened to the site, with no answer.

410 Gone WordPress Mod Tutorial

410 Gone For WordPress

I’ve made a few changes around here which is why this notification is auto-generated. Doc’s political archives have been moved to this subdomain , which is a more suitable place for them. Some other old stuff was removed as well. This created a HUGE SEO problem as there were thousands of URLs that were displaying the standard HTTP 404 page not found status code. This is a big SEO no-no as search engines will crawl those not found URLs (dead links) practically forever checking if they are back available. To…
