The reason I’m having so much fun with this mofo is that I have most of the features of textcasting now, and it’s all flowing out through Masto, and I’m not typing into a freaking tiny little text box!

Holy shit! We’re there. It happened. It worked! We won. Mama mia.

I’m typing into a nice size editing window. It’s medium height and full width. And it grows vertically as I type more text. You’ll see how it works soon enough. 

But for now you can judge the result. I can add links, styling, I can edit my posts, and there is no freaking character limit, or if there is I haven’t come close to hitting it yet. 

I always said WordPress should be part of the social web. And now that it is, I can see how correct that idea was. It’s like all of a sudden I can breathe. I don’t feel like I’m selling myself out as a writer just to participate in the social web. I am more excited about the web than I have been in a lonnnnng time. 

PS: This post has a title. You can see it in the WordPress view, but not (yet) in the Mastodon view. But I’m told by my friends at Automattic that the title will show up in the post where it belongs soon.
