Two awesome and interesting WordPress query strings for browsing websites:

  • ?orderby=modified
    • Example: https://ma.tt/?orderby=modified (Today, this indicates that for his 37th birthday post, Matt apparently went back and made a few tweaks/updates to some prior birthday posts.)
  • ?orderby=comment_count

These could be used in combination with a /feed/ path to get an update of a WordPress site, potentially for updating posts within one’s digital garden and distributing as a feed.
