I kicked the tires on Ghost.org the other day. It’s not for me. Deleting that test account was trying. Thanks to this article that explains it as I could not find it in the docs: Ghost Admin – Ghost Pro – Billing – “Cancel account”; complete requests
To get Hum for WordPress working with my custom shortlink domain I needed to tell Namecheap to set up a Wildcard Redirect to https://www.plrj.org/
with that ending backslash being key to the whole operation. In WP – Settings – General – Site Address I set http://p12n.me

In a pique of frustration I moved all my other websites to a single self-hosted WordPress install. I disabled all the Gutenberg block stuff & am using the old Twenty-Twelve theme. I have backups, IndieWeb, archiving, and am now waiting for Cloudflare CDN propagation. Progress!
Finished reading: Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree 📚
Listened to the audiobook read by the author. He did voices for the different characters, bringing them to life in the narration.

More Nightfall goodness, this time with (PLVNET)[https://plvnet.bandcamp.com]. They are rocking out. High energy and a solid sound.
Listening to (In The Company Of Wolves)[https://www.instagram.com/inthecompanyofwolvesindie] at Nightfall Chattanooga. Their songs come from a place dealing with mental health struggles, but in a healthy way. And they’re good!
Got my lady and friends some of Chattanooga Whiskey Experimental Batch 038: Peach Infused Gin Liqueur. What wonders will they make? Maybe this’ll help.

The lady and I are out at Riverfront Nights in Chattanooga listening to Bee Taylor. She is a great singer and songwriter. Sounds like she is going places. Don’t sleep on her.
