Wednesday, June 24, 2026: 7:16 AM: I’ve always suspected that Automatic had a method behind their madness when they set WordPress with a default of 10 posts per page out of the box. Thanks to Microsoft years ago, I also know that search engines still favor shorter posts that are direct and to the point, 500 words or less. So, I analyzed Brian Schnabel’s Head Space’s main page using what I know and adjusted the post number displayed. Of course, after decades of raw server record observation, I know a few other things, too.
But, given my style of writing, displaying 7 posts on the main page and each paginated page thereafter is good enough for now. AI may be shifting some search engine behaviors, but my experience with Microsoft Copilot in particular tells me my thinking is sound.
Author: Brian Schnabel
A resident of Newtonian Gardens in New Jersey, he is a witch in the nontraditional sense: an explorer of consciousness, meditation, dreams, intuition, manifestation, and the strange territory where inner experience meets everyday reality. Accepting claims solely on the authority of a teacher, book or tradition isn’t in his DNA. His approach is experimental rather than prescriptive: he tries various techniques, observes what happens, journals, questions, and adjusts his practice accordingly. For him, witchcraft is a conscious practice of working with attention, intention, language, and intuition to explore personal transformation. He writes honestly about that ongoing experiment, sharing successes, failures, doubts, surprises, and unanswered questions here. He does not claim absolute answers as to what an experience means.
