I’m mixing up languages on this site but let’s write this in English; hopefully it will have more WordPress reach that way…
(WordPress language distribution nowadays:
) 71% English!
Español, sólo 4.7%… tendremos que escribir más contenido de WordPress en Español.

From all the things I’d like to do in this site, is to document on itself its journey; and while I trip also write about how I can thing things can be improved.
Do you want to see this site backends, as of today? It looks like this:
As you can see, the latest post is Canta en Silencio – Sonata Arctica.
I shared this post on Twitter (X), and it looks like this:
This is WordPress from Scratch
Let’s remember, this is a Fresh install of WordPress. Let’s screenshot some default stuff and how it looks like…

So… even if it’s true that there it says “Site Icon”; the UI doesn’t make this clear… WordPress, why don’t show an example, exactly like the one that appears once you upload something, from the start?
That would make things more clear for me, as a user… and for other users I’m sure too.
Anyhow; let’s keep it like that and continue looking for (no Google allowed for now) the activation of the Open Graph Protocol in my WordPress site…

Let’s post again on XTwitter and see if this changed something…
Didn’t work.
We’ll need a Plugin for this. My current list of Plugins:
WordPress; this is Huge.
