Hello all, I'm not certain where to post this so I've posted a few places across Reddit, but essentially here it goes. A few years back, I self-published a short poetry chapbook. The timing of the publication wasn't great, and because of personal circumstances I chose not to announce the publication or do any advertising. In the past year or so I put some posts up that included a link to my poetry publication, but still no big advertising or anything, and I've not gotten any sales.

I'm now working on a larger collection, which I think could benefit from including many of the works included in the original chapbook. I'm not worried about copyright, because in self-publishing I maintained the copyright of my work. What I'm wondering is how it comes off to have what is essentially the first section in my new publication be almost exclusively work from the previous collection. All further sections expand upon those poems and are composed of almost exclusively new works.

Any advice, suggestions, or considerations are helpful. Thank you.

I thought they had done away with them and was so excited to find one!

Hey everyone, super novice here but I have a website running through WordPress and the site itself is fine, but I'm having significant issues trying to access my WordPress dashboard. At first, it was just accessing the "posts" page of the dashboard and a couple of others, but now I'm struggling to even get on the dashboard at all.

The issue is it's extremely slow, and often instead of loading I'll just get a page that says the site can't be reached and my connection was reset.

I'm a super novice here, so I don't know much. I've tried clearing my cache and accessing from inPrivate/Incognito browsing, used different browsers/devices, and still getting the same issue. From my Googling, it doesn't appear that WordPress itself is down. Everything I've researched says it probably is related to plugins, but I'm fairly certain I never downloaded any plugins and have only worked with tools already available. Help?

I'm sick and wasn't thinking - I stuck the onions and peppers I was going to used in the blender to roughly chop them and ended up blending smooth because I wasn't paying attention. Can I still use them in my soup by cooking them in the broth or is it ruined?
