It's May and I am poking around on my #WordPress site. I have discovered a new #plugin called #PressForward. It "provides an editorial workflow for content aggregation and curation within the WordPress dashboard." Does anyone have experience with it? (2023-05-16 ↗)


This piece is important and deserves readership beyond the architecture and design history community. Good for the Editors for speaking up.

Are there any HIG members posting on Mastodon? I would be happy to follow and boost! #HIG #HistoricInteriorsGroup #InteriorDesign #InteriorArchitecture (2023-02-18 ↗)


Spending some of my time working with a lot of interesting folks in the Historic Interiors Group, an affiliate group with the Society of Architectural Historians, including sometimes helping out with the website. (https://sahhistoricinteriorsaffiliategroup.sah.hcommons.org/) So I am going to start using the hashtag HIG here. For me, HIG = Historic Interiors Group. Unfortunately, there is some precedent for using that hashtag to point to different content, usually associated with a CW. #HistoricInteriorsGroup #HIG #InteriorDesign (2023-02-18 ↗)
