Probably Impatience!
I was trying to set up my own domain with Micro. blog, and also connect it to Bluesky. I kept getting security warnings, and no site. It’s probably just down to me wanting everything to work almost immediately. I’ve been around long enough to know it takes time for DNS to propagate fully, and sometimes, even when it appears to have done so, it can ‘drop out’ again for a while until it’s fully settled. That can take up to 48 hours, although these days, it’s usually much quicker.
Getting Things To Work
I’ve set up Bluesky with one of my own domains. I’ve also attempted to set up cross-posting from that domain to Bluesky and Micro. blog. I’m typing this into Micro. blog to see where it propagates to
Cross Posting
Yes, I am very angry. No, seriously, I am trying out some cross-posting abilities from this site to Bluesky.
Testing Mobile
i almost never blog using my iPhone but I know a lot of folks do just that, so I wanted to check out how everything was responding.
I’m using Safari on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, running iOS 26.4. Everything appears to be as it should.
Why Time Flies When Working Late on Computers
It’s fast approaching eleven pm here. That’s much later than I usually stay up, but that’s the thing with anything computer-related. I get into the task at hand, and the hours fly by.
Setting Up DNS for Email and Micro.blog Integration
It’s like this. I have set the DNS to use my domain registrar’s nameservers. Then, I set the values provided by my hosting provider. I’ve done this because I’ve got an email account attached to this domain from the registrar. This account gives me a much bigger mailbox than I would have with the hosting provider. It is also at a lower cost.
I’m looking at posting on micro. blog and having those entries end up here. Still, for that to work, I’ll have to change the DNS to point to micro. blog, not the hosting provider’s DNS.
It’s getting late in the evening here now, and that’s going to be something to do another day.
Why Content Over Appearance Matters
I spent some time tinkering with settings and editing headers and footers, but I rather like this minimalist look. After all, isn’t a blog all about the content, rather than pretty (and sometimes not very pretty) eye candy?
