Is there a legal limit as to how many bottles of hot sauce one can have at any one time? Asking for a friend.

Wow. Been down the rabbit hole at Wordpress.org Plugins Directory. Fascinating and unsettling at the same time. Unsettling because, 10 years ago the plugins directory had all sorts of quirky plugins for bloggers, now commerce, commerce, sales, marketing, commerce plugins. Commerce.

Hi micro.blog(gers),

I’m doing a bit of an experiment on blog discovery, and so I sort of press-ganged a blog into acting like a directory. You can see it at Blog Snoop Weblog Directory . I’ve seeded it with a few “war horse” blogs so visitors have something to look at.

Everybody at Micro.blog is welcome to add your blog(s) URL, if you want. If not that is okay too. Micro blogs and long form blogs both welcome, they don’t have to be hosted on Micro.blog.

Just reply to this thread and give me: 1. Title (name of blog) 2. Description of blog (paragraph, you can go longer if you want) 3. Tags (give me some tags that describe favored topics of your blog) 4. Categories (optional) 5. URL (most important)

Any questions, just ask. More info on the About page.

This is not a commercial venture, I’m retired so I’m not interested in monitizing. Ads are from wordpress.com. Thanks and happy blogging.

I stand corrected, there is a forth search engine besides #Google, #Bing, #Yandex that is actively spidering the web (in English): gigablast.com

I checked and they have a site I just launched recently so they are active. Good news. #Gigablast #searchengines

Wow. Cool. I just broke out the Macbook and downloaded the Micro.blog Mac app. Very nicely done. Now I see what I was missing. 😁

I’ve been hiding from the US mattress tag cops for years, the EU privacy policy police will never get me for not sending out a CYA email, but I’m prepared to go on the lam.
