#238 – Chris Huber on How Static Site Importer Makes Migrating Any Website to WordPress Easier Than Ever

Data migration is under discussion in this episode thanks to Chris Huber, who brings tales from Automattic’s front lines. We explored how Data Liberation and the Static Site Importer give WordPress users the power to 'liberate' their sites from other platforms, any platform. One concept discussed was transforming any static HTML or existing site into a fully editable WordPress block theme, quirks and all. Innovations, roadblocks with WooCommerce and events, and collaboration hopes all got featured, with Chris adding a touch of behind-the-scenes geekery to the path toward more open and flexible web content.

I like the new design of Mastodon but wonder why the indentation of the text of the post beneath the info about the sender and when it was posted. I've attached a screen shot illustrating. I also like that the "tiny little textbox" isn't quite as tiny. And it grows as you add more text. This is the correct behavior and way better than the text box from the previous version.

Broken Fifth Circuit Kills Massive Program That Helps Poor Rural Kids Get Broadband

You may have noticed that under corrupt Trumpist courts, if a regulator like the FCC engages in literally anything that threatens corporate power or aids workers, competition, or consumers (say, net neutrality, for example), or even school kids, it’s clearly illegal and a dramatic overreach of regulatory power. If an agency does things like launch […]
