Ah, for WP Social Notes you can turn off appending a link back to the WordPress site in the Jetpack Social settings. Pretty cool.

Does anyone have a quick review of using the Jetpack Social plugin with WordPress? It’s 70% off right now and I’m debating whether it will be worth the $36/year.

Here's your password strength quiz for today. Please tell me why this password fails?

(The hyphen is counted as a symbol, so it's not that.)
