image of an email from Marc Andreessen from: Marc Andreessen (marca@ncsa.uiuc.edu) date: Thu, 25 Feb 93 21:09:02 -0800 I'd like to propose a new, optional HTML tag: IMG Required argument is SRC="url" This names a bitmap or pixmap file for the browser to attempt to pull over the network and interpret as an image, to be embedded in the text at the point of the tag's occurrence.

🎉 The proposal to add images to the web was posted to the mailing list by Marc Andreessen, and the wheels were officially in motion. Super short thread w/ link 🧵⬇️

It's clear that #WordPress is at a crossroads, whether we want it to be or not. As a result, it's good to talk about what it is, and what it should do, so, I wrote a post about that:

In Addition to:
* traffic,
* conversions,
* links (internal from content + external)
* and crawl frequency

I like to look at:
* last update,
* topic cluster,
* author,
* length,
* styling effort (image, headlines, highlights, tables, etc)

as informing data points.
