So I’m wondering why the WordPress app for iOS shows WordPress.com logout!

I thought the WordPress app for iOS applies to self-hosted sites, too. I’m confused why I’m able to blog using this app. No matter.

At least I’ve gotten the Jetpack still to include the essentials, such as social media sharing, notifications, and my most prized addiction: stats!

Unfortunately, I only had one view since transferring out my domain back to the original host.

Since switching to self-hosting using WordPress.org, I’ve gotten error messages and strange black pages.

Being that I’m NOT a web master or database manager, I’m simply happy to blog stuff without all that fancy SEO, marketing stuff.

Now I know I’m NOT that “popular” and that perhaps bots are driving fake viewership.

I noticed, too, that followers are nonexistent through my WordPress.org self-hosted compared to parking my stuff at WordPress.com since 2006 whenever.

I often wonder if YouTube views, for example, are mostly selfish BOTS which cater only those creators who are loud and scream profanity and who sellout to sponsorships – to survive in a market and make a few bucks versus for entertainment only like REAL footages that catches the attention of spooky agents.

Like I said, this time nonexistent BOT readers can read my full posts whereas in the past I’ve almost always set my feeds to excerpts, forcing fake readers to “read more”.

Yeah so I’m NOT going back to the free version. As long as this open source project continues to improve, there’s nothing else to add or report.

Welp, I do NOT know WTF I’m doing with this self-hosted site!

It’s bare bones – no plug-ins and no extra do-hickeys found had I stayed with the free platform where I thought the happiness engineers would be helpful!

Either way does NOT make sense or matter unto moi! I give up!

I clicked on my PHP Admin. Lo and behold I can see stuff from the year 2009! I do NOT know if this wpcomstaging version is just a test run to see if I understand SQL, PHP and the like!

Nope! I don’t have the patience! That’s why I’ll continue to complain and whine that TPTB and nefarious palz are giving us these damned junk technology.

All I envisioned was having my files ready to transfer and upload into my site! But I can see NO SFTP credentials whatsoever on the self-hosted site!

I managed to connect but NOT transfer. So that’s why I gave up trying to work with this website host. I should try a different host to see if all this clutter can go away!

I’m NOT gonna even try to read those damned online documentations. When I do NOT see the process does NOT appear on my site or just simply does NOT match up with the instructions, that means it’s a NO good and NO go.

I wanted to try blogging with only HTML but I can’t see to figure that out yet! I really don’t care for the layout or extra plug-ins or overly exaggerated efforts of features that I do NOT need or use!

So I give up! I don’t care for blogging or following or reading or listening to stuff online! Earlier the lights wanted to flicker off during our late supper on/about 2000 pm local time. I was in the middle of warming up the food.

That’s why if I really wanna go off-grid: That’s impossible, because I’ve invested and wasted too much on you damn thieves giving us false hopes and ruined dreams and freakishly junk technology that does NOTHING for the soul!

It’s only eye candy or ear pufferies! I’ve had it! I’ll let everything expire and stop paying into this charade! No more free-handouts or donations to nowhere because I’m going nowhere with his blog entry, too!

Phooey on y’all! The app for phone is limited for the self-host but VERY well-supported for the free version!

That’s all. FlynnsPaws. 🖕🏼 🖕🏼 🖕🏼

Okay, I think I’m finished tweaking the appearance/layout of my self-hosted site here at WordPress.org instead of myFlynnsPaws site at WordPress.com.

I’ve modeled the general appearance/layout after Automattic.org for the header and footer, both of which show a “linear” format containing the same navigation menu, which surprisingly is stable.

In the past few months since inception on/around April 2022 this year, I was having a difficult time adding and creating menus. Everything so far seem much better using the WordPress Version 6.0.2 instead of the free stuff.

Unfortunately, my free stuff site has my other domains, which nobody visits anyways because there are tons of sites that are NOT censored.

I was thinking of transferring all my other domains under a main host site and then yeet those mirrors sites, which I have NOT yet envisioned on how to repurpose.

So last night, I edited my Twatter profile to show my location AND the main/primary weblog site.

Also, last night, I installed a “lite” app version for stats insight reporting and linked that stuff to my Google analytics. So far it’s only showing zero, nada, zilch, none.

Whatever. I’ll continue to show blog and rant here. In the past I was a prick about stats and was addicted to the health of my weblog by forcing readings to “read more” on excerpts of no more than 25 words.

Now I’ve decided – what the heck – I’ll show the full blog post entries on the feed instead of being a scrooge of only showing excerpts or snippets of my incoming thoughts.

That’s all for now. FlynnsPaws.

Okay, I’m back to my OLD self of tweaking my weblog. This time the Theme is called Seedlet. Y’all know, like spreading the seeds of unity and/or discord?

I’ve tried several “minimal” themes to my dissatisfaction and so the installed themes were deleted from my site. This method helps to reduce the “error” messages that come with running a self-hosted site.

I always wanted to run a self-hosted site but needed a host to thrive. Like I said I’ve been using the free site for many slong years and this is probably the first/best attempt of pushing my own stuff.

Sure I liked the conveniences of the host maintaining the plug-ins. But I got too overwhelmed with the various features. Here, I’m feeling more calm without the distractions of stats, which were my addiction to check constantly on the health of my site.

Nonetheless, this is as far I’ll go with trying to “blog” – by staying put somewhere and NOT plugging in my sentiments elsewhere, only to delete my comments and general feedbacks.

I don’t know if it’s rude to “self-destruction” my comments on other sites. But I do it anyway to keep everything thats OFF-TOPIC from sidetracking or deviating from the main topic of the podcaster, which as mostly crazy stuff.

Yeah, so today was VERY relaxing and my next, shoulders, back, joints and whatever else is deteriorating in my body are pretty much pain-free! Blessings I guess or a couple of supplements that I’ve been up-taking in the past few days. I do NOT know.

Anyways, I’ll rant here and see how everything shakes out. I like the monthly fee and NOT being locked in annually like the other sites! That’s expensive and will let those domains expire.

It does NOT make sense to upgrade to features and plugins for a small-time blogger like me. Only the professionals and wealthier folks can afford the time and money to undertake such communication endeavors.

Okay, I’ll stop now and I must quench my thirst. Goodnight! My elderly father and I will probably be awake this two or three o’clock to view the televised “funeral/burial” of the scary queen.

That’s all. FlynnsPaws.
