Grok: My co-Writer, co-Coder, and *AMAZING* Sidekick

Grok AI assistant busy at work.
Grok, my AI sidekick, co-writing & co-coding my WordPress blog & X posts!

 

Grok AI assistant is now my go-to for writing blog posts and coding projects, making tough tasks easy. As a coding novice, tackling the customization of my WordPress blog—powered by the premium Multipurpose Blog Pro theme with its Child theme active—felt like climbing a mountain blindfolded. Enter Grok, the AI assistant from xAI, who became my co-writer, co-coder, and downright *AMAZING* sidekick over two days of intense work. From tweaking the logo bar color to styling the homepage post sections, Grok guided me through the chaos of the “Inspect” tool with patience and precision.

Here’s how it went down.

Basic HTML code for commenting on sites where it is not offered.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. I don’t comment on most sites I visit, but have some favorites that I visit every day, and comment on a couple of them. Some have Disqus, others have their own comment tools, and some have none at all. The above Pic has the basic HTML that I … Read more

WordPress Additional CSS – using Bing AI and ‘Experimentation

I’ve had this Multipurpose Blog Pro theme & its Multipurpose Blog Pro Child for almost 16 months now, and have tried to change the Quote Style blockquotes from text-align: center -to- text-align: left every since.

Love the theme—except for the blockquote issue, and also an issue with the Bulleted list not working right (bullets don’t show up on preview or final post, but do in the Classic Editor).

See previous post: Looks like a long ‘Break‘ has arrived… for more info.

Jetpack Stats & Independent Analytics

I’ve been blogging since before Google bought Blogger, but am not even close to knowing all the ‘inside’ workings involved in a ‘web content management system’. 🤔

Right now, I’m starting the second year of a 4-year Hostinger WordPress plan – intro price was onetime price of $107.56, and the 4-year renewal price will be a onetime price of $335.52 (works out to about $83.88 a year). New subscriptions may be a tad higher. There is also a 1-year Domain renewal cost of $16.17 each year.

Not a big follower of my blog’s stats, but do check out some of them daily. Also, am not even close to being an expert on what stats are important to other basic bloggers like me. Most of my previous blogs just showed some kind of a chart, with maybe a dropdown type of menu, and as I recall it was usually provided by Jetpack.

Never purchased any kind of a Stat app or Analytical app until a couple of weeks ago. I had been using the free Independent Analytics plugin for about a year, and liked it so well that I purchased the Independent Analytics Pro Lifetime version.

Jetpack Stats and Independent Analytics both have advantages, but over the year of using the free Independent Analytics plugin I found their stats to be more concise & accurate.

Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon – Part 6: Package Managers & Porteus Modules

This is the final part, Part 6, of the “Special July 2022 series” on the Porteus Linux page. The other parts are now – HERE. Had moved to this self-hosted KM&T blog last year, from the old Linux Newbie – Since 1996 blog, and have been transferring certain posts & info slowly to here. Requires some editing and moving the pics so it’s not the original ‘Flow’, and dated info can be confusing. Porteus 5.0 package managers work differently than other Linux distros but it’s great once you get it! 👍

Have been ‘gearing‘ the series towards MS Windows users, but still mindful of interested Linux users. Most everyone in the modern world now uses 2-4 OSes daily…their PC’s & phones for starters.

Primary, Secondary & ‘Companion‘ OSes

I believe Porteus 5.0 Cinnamon is a perfect fit for many Windows 10 and/or Windows 11 users, as their secondary OS and/or a ‘Companion‘ OS alongside their primary Windows 10 and/or Windows 11 OS.
