Omeka 2.3 has been released. And if you missed 2.2 in late 2014, it was labelled as a “major upgrade”.

Omeka is a complete WordPress-like digital collections management system, for academics. I note that their hosted Omeka service at Omeka.net now offers the option of a free single site with 500Mb and five themes.

The DOAJ has announced that, sometime in 2015, “every single article entry in DOAJ will have, once again, its own landing page”, and each page will also have enhanced metadata to make it more Google Scholar friendly.

How to un-dumb WordPress.com blog posting

07 Tuesday Apr 2015

In a WordPress.com blog, you can now use a Greasemonkey script to get you past the dumb and childish “Beep Beep Boop” method of posting to your blog. Seems to work fine in the Firefox browser, as starting a new blog post takes me to the full-featured Classic editor. Why is this script needed?…

“on March 13, 2015, the preference setting for the choice of [WordPress.com blog] editor, which was implemented by a cookie through a link back to the classic editor, was removed.”
