As homeland security secretary, she enacted and publicly defended the family separation policy. In President Trump’s eyes, she didn’t go far enough.
I’ve been looking at potentially switching themes again on my website, but I’m still not sure I want to make the jump. If I do, I’m going to simplify things down a bit.
In the process, I’ve been looking at tweaking some of the CSS in the Post Kinds Plugin, particularly since I’m using it so heavily for a lot of my content. One of the small things I’ve wanted to do was to make what I can only call the pseudo-titles of the bookmarks, reads, etc. slightly larger to bring more attention to the titles and authors of those parts.
To do it, I’ve added the following couple of lines to my child theme’s style.css file:
/* Changes the font size on the titles of Kinds */
section.response > header {
font-size: 20px;
}
I’m excited to discover tonight that my website unwittingly supports the new bockchain technology!
I always just called it “chicken feed.”
Kristian Serrano (Twitter)I’m exploring https://t.co/0bzuwdtDr8 to see if it can help me change how I think about sharing and owning my content on the web. I’m intrigued by the indieweb movement, and I think it’s something we should all embrace. You can find me at https://t.co/7zwlgVfVlZ

Jeffrey Zeldman, Nothing Fails Like Success:
On an individual and small collective basis, the IndieWeb already works. But does an IndieWeb approach scale to the general public? If it doesn’t scale yet, can we, who envision and design and build, create a new generation of tools that will help give birth to a flourishing, independent web? One that is as accessible to ordinary internet users as Twitter and Facebook and Instagram?
I think so. I hope so. My part is to write a free RSS reader — and make it open source so that other people can easily use RSS in their apps.
RSS isn’t the only part of the solution, but writing an RSS reader is in my wheelhouse. So this is what I choose.
Do I claim it’s as accessible to ordinary internet users as Twitter (for instance)? I do not. But it’s the step forward that I know how to take.
My point is: don’t give in to despair. Take a step, even if it’s not the step that will solve everything. Maybe your step is just to start a blog or open a Micro.blog account. Whatever it is — do it! :) #LetsFixThis
