   I'm back at login bingo, 24 antipatterns around logging into a system that will have an associated bingo card generator when I'm done with it. I call today's pattern "But First You Must" – People should not be unnecessarily interrupted while logging into a system

     @mattly tangentially related -- it's time for me to blow the dust off my website and rebuild my blog. It used to be totally roll-by hand with PHP reading in text files. I'm not super convinced I want to go with Wordpress but I'm looking for something with minimal futzing on the command line. What do you use on lyonheart.us ?

     @mattly thanks! i know most slightly techier folks use stuff like Ghost, but I'm not sure I want to wade that deeply into adminning the server. i might just end up going with Wordpress or update my "PHP pulls in text files" and that'll *work* for what I need but I'd also like to add RSS.

     @mattly Yeah I'm heavily leaning toward flat files that pull in text and no database. I don't need a full-up "publishing" system.

     Next up on Login Bingo, overriding input affordance behavior is both hard to get right and rather rude, so maybe don't do make people Type This Way https://lyonheart.us/login-bingo/type-this-way/
