Danke, Ton! Ich stehe noch ganz am Anfang, obwohl ich die IndieWeb-Plugins schon lange installiert habe. Ich würde dieses Gebiet gerne mit dir und deinem Netzwerk zusammen entdecken. Ich muss jetzt erst einmal die Probleme, die ich lösen muss, in eine Ordnung bringen. Zum Teil hängen sie damit zu...

Gerne!
Ja, ich merke immer wieder das ich immer wieder die unterschiedlichen Schichten der ganzen Lasagna auseinander ziehen muss: WordPress, WordPress Thema, Indieweb, andere Plugins, was im Database ist, und wie was gezeigt wird usw. Übrigens habe ich mittlerweile Jetpack ganz ausser Betrieb gestellt. Früher habe ich das für Besuchsstatistik verwendet. Aber da die meisten Funktionen von Jetpack über XML-RPC laufen, und XML-RPC blockiert wird von meinem Hoster wegen Sicherheitsrisiken, habe ich das Plugin abgestellt.

Das freut mich sehr zu lesen, Heinz! Falls ich irgendwie behilflich sein kann, gerne. Auch kann es nützlich sein das wir unsere Blogs gegenseitig als Material für Experimente betrachten. zB bei Webmentiontests.

        "text": "Bj\u00f6rn Wijers demoing, with Dylan, Neil and Julia in the photo looking on\nMost of yesterday\u2019s participants returned today to get under the hood of their websites and build something. I didn\u2019t attend in person, but participated remotely in the opening session this morning, and the demo\u2019s this afternoon. The demo session has just concluded and some cool things were created, or at least started. Here are a few:\nFrank Meeuwsen worked on an OPML importer for Aperture, a microsub server. This way it is possible to import the feeds from your existing RSS reader into your microsub server. Very useful to aid migrating to a new way of reading online content.\n\nJeremy Cherfas worked on displaying his gps tracks on his site, using Compass\n\nRosemary Orchard, extending on that, created the option of sharing her geo location on her site for a specified number of minutes.\n\nNeil Mather installed a separate WordPress install to experiment with ActivityPub, and succeeded in sending messages from WordPress to Mastodon, and receive back replies.\n\nSebastiaan Andeweg wrote a tool that grabs book descriptions from GoodReads for him to post to his blog when he finishes a book.\n\nMartijn van der Ven picked up on Djoerd Hiemstra\u2019s session yesterday on federated search, and created a search tool that searches within the weblogs of IndieWeb community members.\n\nThat concludes the first IndieWebCamp in Utrecht, with a shout-out to all who contributed."
