Micro.blog News

  • Started blocking all .php requests to minimize load on our servers when “hackers” try to exploit WordPress-related problems. We don’t expect this will cause any problems, but reach out if you had an older WordPress blog that was migrated to Micro.blog and notice any issues with old redirects. (Most WordPress blogs no longer include .php in the post URLs.)

  • 1… 2… 3.4.5! Micro.blog version 3.4.5 for iOS is now available with a few bug fixes.

  • Disabled the new European server checkbox if your blog doesn’t have a custom domain name. We can only direct traffic to the new servers for your own domain name, not the username.micro.blog subdomains.

  • Improved podcast transcription to allow up to 25 minutes of audio.

  • Fixed the new eu.micro.blog subdomain. For details on DNS changes for Europe-based servers, see this help page.

  • Added new checkbox on Design page to publish your blog to servers located in Europe. See Manton’s blog post for details.

  • Fixed not including photos in Bluesky cross-posts when set to add link previews.

  • Added domain name aliases for Micro.blog Premium to more easily support multiple domain names redirecting to a single blog. See Manton’s blog post for details and screenshot.

  • Fixed editing of blog post titles on the web that contain quotation marks.

  • Fixed accidentally getting Bluesky reposts as if they were replies to you, when the “get Bluesky replies” cross-posting option is enabled.

  • New release of Micro.blog for iOS! Adds a summary field for new or edited blog posts, and a way to add a category while composing a post, both on the post options screen. Also bug fixes including making the back button easier to hit again.

  • Improved speed of generating summaries with AI and archiving pages.

  • Fixed error message attaching videos on the standard Micro.blog subscription. Video and podcast hosting is available in all paid plans.

  • Added new “Include link card preview on Bluesky” checkbox on the Sources page for Bluesky.

  • Added bookmark tagging for all paid subscriptions, not just Micro.blog Premium. Fixed not consistently hiding and showing summaries on bookmarks page (under “…” menu).

  • Updated Micro.blog for macOS with a couple fixes to the new summary field, to always hide the Generate button if AI is disabled for your account. Choose Micro.blog menu → “Check for Updates” to get the latest version.

    Fixed appending duplicate URL to manual cross-posting when linking to your own site.
