Thoughts
When I felt the need to start shouting on Facebook, I needed a somewhere else to put my less well formed thoughts and diary-like notes. Firstly I experimented with ello, but I later transferred my ello to a wordpress blog site, ello.davelevy.info in July 2016, to make it easier to share and integrate. I moved these posts to this site in March 2018. I categorised my entries in that blog as “thoughts” and category thoughts remains in place. I occasionally still use it. I documented the ello blog as page on this site, and with a carousel entry on the home page.
I continued to use ello for sillyness and stuff and there is a link to it at the bottom of all pages, in the black panel.
Comments are now auto closed after 14 days, there is be a social login plugin to allow you to comment using your own social network logins.
Articles on the thoughts blog are more likely to be unfinished, often representing work in progress, or ideas with insufficient time invested.
Today, I transferred this content from a page to this post. …

Help, looking for an XML widget for wordpress
It seems the big boys, i.e. google, facebook, who it now seems own friend feed and twitter are all changing their services and APIs. Friendfeed has stopped parsing twitter because of the API changes, it also seems to have stopped polling my delicious feed. My home grown mingle is still polling my bookmarks, blogs and pictures, but it’s lost my google reader news posts and you tube favourites some time ago; google turned them off as they sought to make Google+ a secret garden. My booklist site, living social, packed in a while ago. All in all, my efforts to collect my contributions on the internet into a single place are falling apart. …
