The cat and I are watching some sort of fireplace channel but it looks kinda creepy/strange when I try and photograph it. Neon even in parts. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreiafzhhnljcg34fswgh56t6doj3ki3xqeciiym6gbjdzs3m5htn2ru

Well 2 commonly used plugins you lose w/ ClassicPress conversion are Redirection & Yoast (just SO common.) The good news is that the ClassicPress plugin has the option to convert back to Wordpress again. Either 6.2.6 or most current version (off of .org of course.) Next test: mirrors.

Before I forget - Happy Halloween! 🎃 I’m not bothering with decor this year (we get at most 2 trick-or-treaters here) but I still enjoy wearing the glow in the dark skeleton shirt all day. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreibtfyerx7ukoyp3efzgkj2e47ve5lqxijechljpsu5xm67stcp67y

😅 omg it's not even done calculating how many static pages it needs to create ...
