Between their desks, Pilapil and Castanien hung a sign that read, “This company has worked __ days without an incident. Incorrect names are avoidable.”

👓 Autonomie Theme | Amanda Rush
I’m taking the new #Indieweb WordPress by @pfefferle and man, this is really, really nice. I haven’t played with all the options yet but if you want to take the theme for a spin you can get it from GitHub. I’ll write more about it once I’m done putting it through its paces. More Indieweb themes is always better, more accessible themes is even better than that. This one is made of semantic HTML, Microformats, Microformats 2, and schema data. I haven’t explored the templates yet but it has full post kinds and post formats support as well.

👓 I Ran Out of Likes! Wtf? | Here in the Silence
silentfall2016 (❦ Here in the Silence ❦)So, I was clicking stars, reading blogs, clicking stars, reading more…..click, click, click, feeding all of my loveys their beloved stars…
and then…….
WordPress started rejecting my likes! Grrrrrr!
So, no more stars tonight. Sorry if I missed you!
This WordPress.com user had liked at least four of my posts almost in a row, so I thought I’d see what they were writing. This post about running out of likes was one of the first things I saw.
