Fellow cat lovers, apparently we’ve been holding our cats wrong! 🐱
Seriously though, I think this would be an interesting video for all cat lovers.
Btw, I wish my cat was a shoulder cat!

A cry for help regarding Micropub+WordPress
I’m wondering if any techy people out there can help me with my Micropub plugin.
I’ve installed it on WordPress without any problems, but when I try to use Quill or OwnYourGram, I keep getting the same error message. I tried using micropub.rocks to test out the connection, and the same error message shows up:
I don’t understand what any of it means but in the Micropub FAQ section, they mention this:
If your Micropub client includes an Authorization HTTP request header but you still get an HTTP 401 response with body missing access token, your server may be stripping the Authorization header. If you’re on Apache, try adding this line to your .htaccess file:
SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1If that doesn’t work, try this line:
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
I did that, and my error message from Quill turned into this:
HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error Server: nginx/1.12.2 Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2018 06:32:25 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive
Since that didn’t work, I reversed the changes I made and followed the next instruction on the Micropub FAQ:
If that doesn’t work either, you may need to ask your hosting provider to whitelist the Authorization header for your account.
This took a week of back and forth with my hosting provider (Bluehost) as most of their first level customer service agents have no idea what I’m asking them. Finally a technician gets back to me to tell me that they can’t whitelist the authorisation header for my account.
So the final piece of advice on the Micropub FAQ:
If they refuse, you can pass it through Apache with an alternate name, but you’ll need to edit this plugin’s code to read from that alternate name.
I’m afraid this is way above my tech level. Can someone help walk me through it?
Sometimes, snuggling the cat takes precedence over blogging #priorities 🐱
Feeds on the web are useful for keeping up with posts to a blog, especially in lieu of checking each site you want to read on at least a semi-regular basis. It’s like subscribing or following…
What a feeds page should look like – it should instruct people who don’t know what feeds are and give recommendations of rss readers.

We should support projects that directly benefit other people, not because of the indirect benefits to ourselves, but because of the direct benefits to them. That’s what living together in community requires of us.
@vasta shared this quote and I agree that it’s a wonderful sentiment and that it’s worth sharing.
Thank you for posting this. I’ve always been a bit stumped when someone says the whole “what does privacy matter if I’m doing nothing wrong?” argument.
Some of the points put forward – especially about shutting the bathroom door – might make sense to them.
“We’re all the protagonists in our own narratives,” Bridget Kromhout (@bridgetkromhout) agreed.
Consider that everyone in your audience is the hero of their own stories and when you take the stage to speak at a conference …you need to realize that you “have a walk-on part in their[ story].”
Think about that as you try to move your audience or move them to action. You happen to be the character they are encountering in the current scene.
Bridget reminds us that, “Any actions they take, after listening to me, will be what move[s] their story forward.”
You must contribute to their story or you[‘re] a scene that can be cut in post.
I don’t think this just applies for conference speaking…
