(0958) This will be an extended drops post until the first of IYE’s new/old TV series … as and when things come in. (1247)

 

15. Two more about bird choppers

DAD from comments:

14. The satire of AKH

13. Another bringing together of two separate items

… and this:

The BlackRock connection and a nightmare for farmers

That’s one topic … now, digressing, looking at Kathy … she’s showing signs of Kate:

https://www.smalldeadanimals.com

… in that the lady bloggers are relying on the mainly men writers to carry the site, which is why I archived Kate to the Honour Roll. Now, to be fair, I also heavily rely on our patron droppers, as is obvious, but it does not mean I can rest on my laurels, go off on trips etc. … I’m essentially saying that I must still do a fair bit of the downrabbitholing, the basic investigative journo work … you lot would not wear it otherwise.

In a similar way, MMUTR has been in some pretty exalted places out in the real world but he still prefers the nitty gritty tech thing to the organisational side … thank goodness for us, say I. Now, I love Kathy’s site, I did love Kate’s … but … but … but … one must stay true to roots imho … same goes for musical groups.

12. Concerning archives

You may have noticed archives have been added to all WP sites, Jstack already having that … IYE:

“Something I’ve noticed on substack … if you go to header bar there’s “Archive”. That lists all the posts in order and there’s a further choice to see “Discussions” which is probably the next best thing to the comments thingy in the sidebar of ONO.”

Right, I’ve just been experimenting … I recalled that when ONO was stolen, IYE dropped some archives under that month in 2024. Seemed to me that if I posted an archives widget in the sidebar, that made things easier.

Also, I’ve tried a few ways to increase the number of comments displayed in the sidebar widget to 12 from 5 … no luck at the two WPdotcoms … but it worked at HQ.
