• Bix Dot Blog is written and published by Bix Frankonis from the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.

  • It is served to you over the web by DigitalOcean and managed in WordPress with Gutenberg disabled.

  • Site theme technically is a customization of Underscores and uses a number of custom functions written by ChatGPT.

  • Color scheme uses Open Color palettes, with link colors inspired by HTML’s defaults of blue, purple, and red.

  • Typefaces are System UI and Old Style from Modern Font Stacks and require loading no web fonts.

  • Posts are written entirely in Markdown in the Classic Editor thanks to the Jetpack plugin, else first in Panda.

  • My take on blogrolls, the recently read blogs list, pulls from an Instapaper RSS feed and uses custom code to display it.

  • This domain comes courtesy of Automattic’s Knock Knock WHOIS There through their dotblogger program.

  • Usage note: If I can’t find the pronouns of someone I link, I default to the singular they, as I’ve done for decades.

  • Rules I try to follow and you should try to follow if interacting: No fear, no hate, no thoughtless bullshit. (And no nazis.)
