This may not seem like a big deal but WordPress 6.2, due for release on 28th Mar, comes with a built in Style Book. That's one place to see all the active global design choices without having to manually add EVERYTHING to a dedicated style guide page.

Keep your web hosting stress free. Register your domain name with one company, host your website with another company, and pick a third, different service for your email. If your hosting fees rocket after the first year you can move with a few clicks and no downtime.

A friend of mine is launching a novel on a Kickstarter today. It's not their first kickstarter or their first novel but it is their first novel on kickstarter. I love how the channels for self-pub authors keep expanding.

@readl_co One for Lisa. Where should authors who want to sell NFT's of their work start?

[Stephen Gordon @cavemanstirs]

@readl_co How does @PatMillsComics see what NFT's could do for the SpaceWarp comic? Any more ideas for utilities?

[Stephen Gordon @cavemanstirs]

@readl_co The extra utilities @PatMillsComics is adding to the NFT of his books is a huge eye opener to what is possible with this technology.

[Stephen Gordon @cavemanstirs]

@PatMillsComics There's a growing movement of authors selling direct to customers (DTC). Web3 is another channel for that to happen. Thank you (and Lisa) for helping the rest of us learn more.
