Sylvia<p>So this morning something sparked an idea, and after a lot of doodling, futzing with Libre Office and a lot of writing I present you the sylvia.studio Creative Bingo Board to download for free! </p><p>I’m, of course, going to play along too. I’m going to print out my bingo board to add it to my journal. I will add updates in a couple of weeks.</p><p><a href="https://sylvia.studio/creative-bingo-board" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">sylvia.studio/creative-bingo-b</span><span class="invisible">oard</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.lol/tags/creativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>creativity</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/bingo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bingo</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/blogpost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blogpost</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/freebies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freebies</span></a></p>

David - Forking Mad<p>A <strong>Review of Pagecord</strong> - a blogging platform</p><p>I’d describe it as a simple, focused, clean and friendly blogging tool.&nbsp; If you’re looking for something to get the words on the page efficiently, and cleanly, this could be for you.</p><p><a href="https://forkingmad.blog/review-pagecord/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://forkingmad.blog/review-pagecord/</a></p><p><a href="https://gofer.social/tags/blogpost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blogpost</span></a> <a href="https://gofer.social/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blog</span></a> <a href="https://gofer.social/tags/pagecord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pagecord</span></a></p>
David - Forking Mad<p><strong>When is a blog not a blog?</strong></p><p>When it’s a page!</p><p>There are occasions when it’s great to get something written down online; something you can share with others, perhaps via email or social media.</p><p>Blogs are great for that, but what about something random — a post/comment/opinion that has no connection to your blog, or you want to keep it separate from your usual articles. Perhaps you don't have a blog but need somewhere to occasionally publish.</p><p>I’ve created just such a tool. It’s simply a blank page and you type whatever you want. Save it; share it. No login, No verification. No hassle. You’re not asked for any personal details to get published.</p><p>It’s not discoverable in any list of pages, so it's relatively private.</p><p><strong>Extras</strong></p><ul><li><p>Optionally you can add a password, which means you have the ability to edit the page in the future.</p></li><li><p>You can also show the created date, and/or last updated date.</p></li><li><p>Write in markdown if you wish</p></li></ul><p><strong>What’s it called?</strong></p><p><strong>Verba Mea</strong> — <a href="https://verbamea.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">verbamea.com</a></p><p>Roughly translated as <em>My Words</em> in Latin.</p><p>You can also use it as <a href="https://justWords.page" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">justWords.page</a> if you prefer. Both web addresses are interchangeable, but I think VerbaMea is more snappy.</p><p><strong>Who did this?</strong></p><p>Me! I’ve had the idea for years, brewing in my <em>head of many thoughts</em> . I even coded it some years ago. In the last few weeks I had a need for such a service, so I dusted it down, tidied up the edges, and made it live for everyone to enjoy. I’ve had the name for years in my head too.</p><p>Oh, and Me is David - Forking Mad.
