cov.fefe.de – The Isoblog.

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/31

[WayBack] cov.fefe.de – The Isoblog.

(it was Scheduled for 09:00 UTC, but after all these years, WordPress.com at random still suffers from the “missed schedule” bug)

Brilliant move. Der Spiegel never had a chance, and even Der Postillion is in awe. (Context).

Yes, cov.fefe.de is the same content as blog.fefe.de.

Topic: [Resolved] Sharing on Google Plus Private..? Why? « WordPress.org Forums

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/11/01

The below is even more convoluted when you have ad-blockers installed: then the G+ integration won’t even appear and the behaviour differs between classic G+ and current G+.

So here are the steps:

  1. Remove the WordPress link from https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions
  2. In your blog settings (for me that’s https://wordpress.com/sharing/wiert.me) remove the G+ integration; do this in a Chrome incognito Window if the G+ integration is not visible
  3. At the same page re-add your G+ integration and follow further steps at https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/google/#reconnecting

Modern G+ settings at https://plus.google.com/settings does not have the above permissions integration link but classic G+ at https://plus.google.com/settings?gmbpt=true&fd=1 does.

Hi there,

I have good news!

A few weeks ago, Google+ made some changes to their API. In doing so introduced some issues with Publicize. The module still worked, but the updates posted by the WordPress app on your Google+ Profile or Google+ Page were only visible to you.

In the past few weeks, we’ve worked with Google+ to start using a new API. That API works just like the old one, with one exception: publicized posts are now public. You can’t change the visibility of publicized posts to “My Circles”, or anything else.

If you’re happy to have Publicize publishing public posts to your Google+ Profile or Page, you can follow the instructions below to delete your old connection, and then reconnect your Jetpack site to your Google+ account:
https://jetpack.com/support/publicize/google/#reconnecting

I hope this helps.

WordPress.com old stats and new stats links

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/01/17

Woot! Post 2400 (:

For my own reference.

My old stats: https://wordpress.com/my-stats?blog=7443331

My new stats: https://wordpress.com/stats/7443331

Hopefully the old stats stay for a while as they are far more useful.

Direct link to the “old” WordPress stats page giving more information: My Stats — WordPress.com

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/12/22

For my link archive: the “old” stats page, as it shows more information in a better formatted way (especially on larger monitors) My Stats — WordPress.com.

The “new” stats page used only half the screen width (long live responsive layout): Stats ‹ 7443331 — WordPress.com.

Embedding a Gist in WordPress is easy (via: Support — WordPress.com)

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/12/08

Boy, I wish I had found out about this a long time ago.

Embedding source code in WordPress web sites has always been a pain, as the Jekyll & Hyde faces of the WordPress Visual & Text keep fighting about the content.

A few artefacts I stumbled upon on a regular base:

Not so any more: just put your code in a public gist, then put the Gist url in the code without making it an actual link. Read the rest of this entry »

Markdown support on WordPress.com is a farce.

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/11/10

Too bad the Markdown support from WordPress is a farce.

Below the horizontal rule is the Leak Check test from CommonMark. The rendering is even worse than the spec.txt rendering I posted before.

WordPress.com #fail (new editor just as bad as old one): Another example of the editor eating line breaks « WordPress.com Forums

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/10/31

Complaint Friday…

A long time ago, I complained about the (now old!) WordPress.com editor being wrong, wrong, wrong: Another example of the editor eating line breaks « WordPress.com Forums.

The promise then was that the new editor would be better.

The big news: the new editor is just as bad in this respect (and far worse in other respects).

Just watch the text around my signature and PS in the texts below and shiver.

Lets start with the original text of my GoToWebinar blog post today:

Well, you can hand-build your URLs like this:
