If you make your own website, consider making short URLs. This is not about a URL shortener. This is about making your original URLs short in the first place.

I always liked simpler URLs, wish Micro.blog provided more options.
Flowers and thorns must have a special relationship - often the former attempts to veil the spikes. mbmay

I have come across many guess-the-word games recently, mostly after Wordle. Semantle is another one, but is different in many ways. It’s not limited in number of attempts. The help page says, “You will need more than six guesses. You will probably need dozens of guesses”. Sounds about right. Plus it has hints. Yet it feels difficult and exciting. Do give it a try when you have some time.
PS: It took me 21 guesses, 3 hints to get today’s word.
I have seen this bit of genius so many times, in many languages. I have no idea who did it first, but it still has me loling. When 7 times 13 is 28 π
I said I will participate in the May Photoblogging challenge and missed to post on the first day itself. I just couldn’t find the right switch π
I watched Spiderman: No Way Home today and, oh boy, it’s such a fun movie. It had me giggling at many moments, and yet equally moved at a couple others. Tom Holland is the best Spiderman and he finally got an origin story that he so well deserved. I might watch it again soon π¬
Paper Theme Now Supports Full Posts on Homepage
I have released an upgrade (v1.1) to Paper theme for Micro.blog today that allows modifying the default behaviour of the homepage. It includes a setting now to display full post content on the homepage of the blog. Hereβs how the homepage with this setting on will look like. You can also check the same on my test blog.
This is one of the most asked for features since the first release. I could never get the look right without ruining the spirit of the theme. Or so I like to believe because the change isnβt too significant in itself. So, irrespective of which option you decide to go with, the homepage should feel as part of the original simple and clean theme.
If you are using the Paper theme, look out for the upgrade option in Plugins. It should be enabled soon. As always, if you find any bug or want any improvements, kindly let me know either as GitHub issue or connect with me on Micro.blog / via email.
