I can’t help messing around with stuff. This post is a test of a WordPress ActivityPub plugin – my blog directly linked to the Fediverse at bt3.com@bt3.com!

I don’t know if I’ll keep it going but I’m following the new account to check if it works – mainly so I can see my blog posts independently of my toots. As I’ve already got WordPress posting to my Mastodon account I’ll be seeing double. 🙂

Limitations:

Blog posts made before this one are not visible, which is not ideal but it is what it is. I am wondering though if re-publishing, if it’s possible, might be a way round this.

The plug-in uses a cron job to collect and distribute posts, so I’ll be nervously pacing until the first (this) is delivered.

Stuff:

The photo below, of a Bristol Stool Scale with images and text aimed at children, was IMG0031 on my iPhone 5. It was taken in January 2013 and is the earliest I’ve retained.
