Congress Now Trying To Outlaw Reporting On Government Corruption

Congress Now Trying To Outlaw Reporting On Government Corruption: "Lawmakers are pushing legislation through Congress that will criminalize reporting on illegal activities and corruption in the US government.

Just when you thought the United States government couldn’t sink any lower our beloved politicians in Washington have introduced legislation that will criminalize reporting on US government secrets.

"Whether or Not"

According to Fowler's Modern English Usage (see note), "whether or not" is not strictly incorrect. The pertinent article acknowledges that "whether or not" can be a legitimate contraction of "whether it will or will not". Nevertheless, you should avoid the construction, as it is less often used than abused.

There are three scenarios to consider when avoiding the use of "whether or not"."

Don't Use WordPress MultiSite | Ipstenu on Tech

Don't Use WordPress MultiSite | Ipstenu on Tech: "When Your Site is Homogenous

Do you want your whole network to look and feel 100% the same? Don’t use MultiSite. If every single subsite is going to be exactly the same, except for content, but the content is all written the same way, you don’t need MultiSite. Replicating the theme and settings on every subsite is a pain, and you can achieve the same result with categories, tags and CPTs. You can even use a membership plugin to control who sees, and has access to, each CPT! 3"

Don't Use WordPress MultiSite | Ipstenu on Tech: " That means the only ‘information’that is shared between two sites is your user ID, and even then, unless you’re explicitly granted access to the site, you’re nothing more than a subscriber. Which is to say you can read the site, and comment. 1 That means that while there are many perfectly valid reasons for having a MultiSite, it will never be a perfect solution for all people.

Don't Use WordPress MultiSite | Ipstenu on Tech

Don't Use WordPress MultiSite | Ipstenu on Tech: "MultiSite, either by intention or effect, works best when you think of it as running your very own version of WordPress.com. You have a network of sites that are disconnected from each other, data wise, but share the same available user base. That means the only ‘information’that is shared between two sites is your user ID, and even then, unless you’re explicitly granted access to the site, you’re nothing more than a subscriber."
