I’m cheered and hopeful that Mr. Krogsgard is correct and Post Status will soon return to form. (It kind of limped out of 2017 and into 2018, but Brian recently emailed members about his new dedication.) This interview with Matt makes me think it may well. An independent journalist who has smart opinions and pushes (at least) a little on someone as influential as Matt is A Good Thing™️.

This project seems to have no relationship to that other than a similarity of intent. What’s really cool about the WPGlossary.net from the Anders Norén is that it comes with a slick interface for searching and is just really pretty.
