Just in today: WordPress now accounts for 30% of the web, as well as a dominant 60.2% of all websites which use any kind of Content Management System (CMS).
AMP
AMP is the Google-launched fully Open Source mobile page speed project and service which is an abbreviation of the phrase “Accelerated Mobile Pages”.
Capable of being served directly from Google, or other search engines, without ever hitting your server, AMP pages are very very light pages which load really fast on handheld devices like smart phones and small tablets, to facilitate a speedy mobile web, even over bad and slow connections.

Over the years, I’ve commented a lot on general trends in online shopping, and particularly about retail, and various “disruptions” which have occurred, but one thing which has been around for a while, and is seeing a boon since the baby boom generation has started retiring in earnest is escorted holiday tours for single travellers.
Let’s discuss about it!
More spam from Steve Blackmon arrived today. Delightful. If you got a similar message to this, it is 100% spam.
SIDEBAR – interestingly, people actually looking up the phrase “discuss about it” are landing here, I think looking for grammatical advice. Those people, “let’s discuss about it!” is (basically) “wrong” grammatically speaking, because “discuss” itself means to talk about something, rendering the word “about” in this phrase redundant. “Let’s discuss it!” would be sufficient. Don’t Repeat Yourself. DRY.
In any case, the spam had this grammatically incorrect title is copied in below. Because I for some reason decided to publish these here spams… perhaps because they get past my spam filter.
