12 years after we wrapped up the OpenWebPodcast, I get to host a podcast about the Open Web again!

https://openwebpodcast.de/1862/der-openweb-podcast-ist-tot/

I'm so excited and thrilled to be part of the new "Open Web Conversations" team!

https://dothewoo.io/podcasts/open-web-conversations/

We'll be diving into topics like the #OpenWeb, the #Fediverse, the #IndieWeb, and, of course (though not necessarily), #WordPress!

One year ago, I decided to start blogging again. Here's a bit of reflection.

More website update highlights:

- Global CSS file is much smaller, w/ styles for specific pages broken out
- Markup avoids unnecessary `

`s in favor of ``, and ` `, making maintenance much easier

I just did a complete redesign of my site and I'm really happy with it! reillyspitzfaden.com

Some highlights:
- Pixel art theme, w/ fun icons and a pixel art font for headings
- Previously open dropdown menus automatically close when you open a new one

This is cool! I don’t think it’s correct that Webmention requires a permalink for each post; sending a fragment link as the source URL should work. The verification step should be per-media-type, so receivers could verify that text/plain example differently than a text/html document.

#indieweb #webmention

I'm trying something new, as part of the indieweb movement, I'm trying to have my 'social media' originate from my own site. I.e. own my own data.
I'm using fed.brid.gy to have these notes (likes and reposts) bridged to the Fediverse and Bluesky.

I still have my @gerben@todon.nl account and I won't cross-post directly to there (maybe boost my other account's posts), but I'll be experimenting with this new approach.

However, because of the federated nature of this, and the fact that my bridged account is 'not real' (long story), it'd be helpful if you could follow @gerben.dev@gerben.dev from other servers then todon.nl, so it appears in more local timelines.

My #WordPress website is finally back to normal—and maybe even a little improved! 😅 I spent all night undoing the damage caused by someone who offered to "help" but left my site in chaos. 🚩 Lesson learned: be cautious about who you trust with your work.

The one challenge I still haven’t solved is making my #portfolio filterable by project type. With 13+ projects and growing, this feature is becoming essential! Ironically, this was my original request for help before things went sideways. 😬 The person not only messed up my site but also claimed it wasn’t responsive (I can’t verify that myself as I’m #Blind, but no one else has reported issues) and tried to take over. Now I’m back to square one—but wiser!

I’m using Jetpack's built-in portfolio feature, which unfortunately doesn’t support filtering natively, along with the GeneratePress Premium theme. If anyone has tips or workarounds for creating a filterable portfolio with these tools, I’d love your advice! 🙏

This weekend's #IndieWeb Camp #SanDiego, the second annual, was rewarding on many levels. I'm especially glad to have spent time documenting the way I use the terrific app Dawn Patrol to track my bodysurfing. I'm excited to start looking at how using Soul Surfer I can push data into Strava and what that might bring to me new insights and information about doing what I love--being in the water and riding waves.

For IndieWebCamp San Diego’s Create Day, I worked on cleaning up some code for indiewebify.me and pushed it to a branch on my GitHub.

The readme there has more details, but this is basically an in-progress update to use the SlimPHP framework. It is probably only about 30% complete, but some parts of it are functional. Pushing this to Github will make it easier for the community to collaborate on and decide how to move forward.

Thinking of using Known. The #IndieWeb is hard to implement, and I just want something that works. #WebDev #SelfHosting (https://bluehome.net/csh/2024/12/08/thinking-of-using-known/)

My next project for when I get this bored is to start messing around with SwiftWASM because I find that stack so funny

People are all like "you have to carefully consider your choice of tech stack" and I'm like "this one is funny let's do it"
