Can we do better? I have looked at membership management and recorded it on this article, but I consider that if we want other services that a common single user list would be best and given my history it has to be LDAP. Continue reading “WordPress & LDAP”

I want a splash screen on this page. See also this post. This article documents my experiments with Kento Splash Screen.

I returned to this in Aug 2016 as I was interested in occasionally forwarding my micro blog to Medium. Continue reading “Nextscripts: Social Network Autoposter”
