Making a few small adjustments…
I have both a self-hosted blog that uses WordPress, and a “backup” blog hosted at wordpress.com, and because WordPress’ “Jetpack” requires connecting for social media purposes, it’s sometimes too easy to double post to social media sites. Just now I made some adjustments because a single post to my self-hosted site created 2 Mastodon posts. I turned off the new built-in Mastodon connection, which apparently influenced both blogs, and will use the old Mastodon plug-in. Maybe later I’ll connect this blog to the Fediverse directly, but for now will see if Things Blow Up this way.
The social crossposting part of Jetpack is free now for about 15 more posts, and after looking at the pricing structure, will do it via free plugins. $15.00USD a month is much too expensive.

Learning #Blender with #BlenderGoon for #SecondLife – V2.4 Make a signpost in Edit mode
Here’s a simple old fashioned signpost that might be useful for someone in #SecondLife, created in #Blender. The tutorial covers inset, extrude, scaling on specific X Y or Z orientation, and other fundamentals. At the end Goon uploads his model to the test grid of Second Life (that is, the cost to upload is actually free, you use play money on the test grid). He’s still assigning simple colors to the object and not using images – that’s coming up.
I’ve turned on more crossposting links so I’m really hoping this isn’t posting multiples to Mastodon, as I have a second WordPress.com hosted site that’s my backup blog.

Testing The Untested Plugin
Let’s turn it on and see if anything blows up – trying a very old plugin for crossposting. Hope it doesn’t start a timey-wimey thing.
