My first article for @npquarterly.bsky.social has arrived! It's about nonprofits removing banned language, including mentions of vulnerable and marginalized people, from websites and public docs. Some orgs are being ordered to do so by the Trump administration. Others are obeying in advance.

A good feeling: moving a client from the "Past Clients" folder back into the "Active Clients" folder in ClickUp 😊 For any consultants out there that aren't focusing effort on building long term relationships with clients even after their projects end, you're playing on hard mode.

Working on a website content audit that is kinda terrifying. Those four URLs highlighted are four identical, duplicate pages. No redirects to one primary version of the page. No canonical tags. Just four duplicate pages 🤯

Imagine heading into a website migration (which is what this org is doing) without figuring this out first! Currently waiting on Search Console to verify so we can understanding which URLs Google has indexed so we can preserve that organic search visibility through the migration.

In this week's edition of The Digital Landscape, I shared some donation appeal tips from an appeal letter from Groundswell Fund (not on bluesky?) When your donors are awash in the 🌊 of appeal emails and mailers, having print and digital tools working well together can make all the difference. (1/6)

#4 Groundswell Fund is structured to include both 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities – both entities can accept donations, but only donations to the 501(c)(3) entity are tax deductible, which is important information for donors! (5/6)

#5 At the end of the letter, in a PS line, they write "I know our team at Groundswell would love to meet with you—if you're interested contact my colleague ..." followed by a real person's name and email. (6/6)

#2 There's additional information about other giving options, and a contact email address right there below the online option. If I had questions, I could reach out to someone easily. (3/6)

#3 After scanning the QR code, the donation page was mobile responsive, and accepted Apply Pay at the final stage of the checkout, saving me from having to type in my card details. (4/6)

#1 I didn't have to type a URL into my browser, or use Google to navigate to their giving page. I just scanned the QR code with my phone and was immediately on the donation page. (2/6)

I'm thinking of all the people who pose no threat to society & whose lives are deteriorating due to our mass incarceration crisis & unjust criminal legal system. For the families harmed by mass incarceration, President Biden must act. Here's my statement on his pardon this week.

This intro to the open network concept was helpful for me. Would love to hear more (or get reading suggested to me) on the differences between the benefits of AT protocol and what’s going on with Mastodon, etc. Two different models, right? Thanks @emilyliu.me

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network. I blogged about it here:

The sweet feeling of reducing technical debt on some client sites 🧹🧹 🚮 and crossing some plugins off the list I have to maintain.

You are up to date.
