/newsletter Reinvent the newsletter

I'm biased, but I think WordPress.com/newsletter fits your description pretty well. It is built on top of WordPress.

I work in a team that is fully focused on building calm, open platform for creators on WordPress.com. We prioritize ease-of-use for both creators and their audience.

Reading in 2024 Finally a new year resolution I could stick to! In 2024, I started reading every night in bed. Sometimes I’ll only read half a chapter before I start falling asleep on my book. Sometimes I&rs…

Identity verification woes It would seem like identity and domain verification are a hot topic again: Cybersquatting is not a new issue, of course, but Bluesky’s decision to tie verification to domains as social proof shows …

What do the #WooCommerce experts recommend for school photographers these days? I've used WooCommerce Photography in the past. Is it still the most acceptable option, or would I be better off building something with a mix of extensions?

The missing image may have been because it was an AVIF image.

On Repeat Today: Leave You to It (Sleep Dearie Sleep), The Crown Soundtrack Adri and I have enjoyed The Crown series on Netflix. It's drama at its finest, with great actors. And, as with many good shows in the past few years, the score was really nice! I've enjoyed the music for the whole 6 seasons. It was often used to anchor the viewer in the right time, and although the themes could be repetitive, they had to given that we were following the same characters for decades 🙂

Do some of you have experience with GitHub Actions, the GitHub API, and project boards? I would like to extract (via a GraphQL query for example) a list of all Project Boards an issue is part of.

git flush

@R1Rail@mastodon.gougere.fr Person j'ai un alias dans mon .gitconfig, que j'ai appelé flush, et qui fait git restore -- . && git checkout -- . && git clean -f -d. C'est nucléaire, mais ça me permet de revenir à un état propre. Je trouve ça plus pratique…

Yeah, I only switched email for now. I continue to use all other Google services. Alternatives, including Proton's, aren't good enough for me to switch yet.

I switched a couple of years ago, and I've been happy with it. It works well. I only miss the Google calendar integration, where events would get created whenever I received an email with plane tickets for example. Proton has a Calendar feature but it's nowhere near as useful as Google Calendar.

That sounds like things we should address! I'd need more info about that custom meta though. Could you email me more details about your site and the plugin you use that conflicted with Jetpack's OG tags?
Thank you!

Maybe Bluesky doesn't support AVIF files in its post previews?
(I'm seeing you're using an AVIF images in that post)

The WP World — Connecting the WordPress community. WordPress is a global community. This directory aims to show just how simultaneously big and small the WordPress community is!

I found thewp.world to be pretty useful for that. It includes a page where you can search for past WordCamps and check them in. Going through the full list helped me remember a few WordCamps I had originally forgotten about :)

> Instead of just letting it auto-post the content, I added my own as I found it was just truncating.

I personally find it best to enter a custom message in the Jetpack Social settings for the post, instead of letting it truncate for me.
That is, when I think about doing it... :)

Thanks for the feedback! We're still iterating on the feature.

- Right now only featured images get displayed. We're discussing this here: github.com/Automattic/j...
- Hashtags are not supported yet. github.com/Automattic/j...

Keep that feedback coming, here or on GitHub, so we can keep improving!

Developer Hours will start in less than 3 hours!

If you build sites with custom fields and post meta, you won't want to miss this one.

As Bluesky is getting more and more active, I feel I should mention that the Jetpack plugin supports automatically posting to Bluesky whenever you publish a new post on your #WordPress site.

Give it a try! This is a great way to revive your WordPress blog and post here at the same time :)

Asking questions | Jeremy Herve Conversation is hard. Good, enjoyable conversation is even harder. It takes some skill, and some practice. Two things that don’t come easy to an introvert like me.
