Sometimes my goals don’t quite come to fruition as intended:

One of my goals for this weekend is adding a bluesky feed to my writing website. I'm using WordPress and I've heard through the grapevine that it's relatively easy to add as a widget, so here's hoping.

Was the grapevine wrong? Not entirely. You do need a business-level WordPress subscription to upload the “free” plugin or much of anything beyond Jetpack. My website writing budget isn’t that big and I’ve no desire to increase it. What I can do is embed specific bluesky posts. So I am counting this a partial success.

We call them “challenges” not “problems” these days, don’t we? In other news, my poetry manuscript is in excellent editorial hands at the moment. I will share more in the coming weeks.

Happy Superb Owl day for the rest of my fellow weirdos! If you find anything fun that’s owl related, share it to your loved ones. Bonus points if they have no idea why you’re sending it and you don’t explain. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
