It’s increasingly clear that WordPress (steered by Automattic) isn’t particularly interested in blogging anymore. I agree that a solid, open source, turnkey solution for IndieWeb compatible personal websites is important. I also think Eddie is right that having several would be even better.
We have a great start in Known, which is what I use on my website, but we badly need more contributors. If you’re looking for a place to dive in and help solve this problem, I would highly encourage you to take a look at Known!

Sometimes I'm afraid to post silly stuff that I can post on social networks to my website. But I think this is a thing I need to do - because that makes IndieWeb closer to the social networks! If you can post silly stuff on silos, why not post it on IndieWeb?

After discussing the finer points of multitags in the IndieWeb chat today, I decided to add support for it to my site. Thanks to my recent re-architecture in November, it was actually really quick and easy. Took less than 30 minutes!

@manton @danielpunkass @cheesemaker Is it common to do many small Frameworks or a single large one? In a WWDC Session they said you shouldn't have more than 6 frameworks in an app? I'm packing my IndieWeb code and trying to decide if they should be 3 or 1. Any thoughts?

Good morning, Austin! Tonight is Homebrew Website Club, 6:30pm at Mozart’s Coffee. We’ll meet at a table outside to talk about the IndieWeb, plan for the upcoming IndieWebCamp Austin, or work on your own web site.

Today I want to highlight photoblogging.</p>\n\n<p>Sharing photos is an important part of Micro.blog. I put a custom photo picker and filters in the original Micro.blog iOS app to encourage everyone to post photos to their blog, so that you end up with a great collection of your best photos at your own domain name. Because photos are square by default, they look great in the Micro.blog timeline, and <a href=\"http://help.micro.blog/2016/cross-posting-twitter/\">with cross-posting</a> Micro.blog can attach photos to your tweets or send posts to other social networks.</p>\n\n<p>We also have a companion iOS app just for photos called <a href=\"https://sunlit.io/\">Sunlit</a>. It has an Instagram-like timeline for browsing photos from your Micro.blog timeline, with the focus around blogs that I wrote about <a href=\"https://www.manton.org/2017/06/27/preview-of-sunlit.html\">in my preview post</a> as we were relaunching Sunlit 2.0:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n <p>To play nicely with microblogs, we introduced a new post type in the app for single photos.

He used this feed to build <a href=\"https://github.com/cleverdevil/microgram\">Microgram</a>, a snippet of HTML that you can paste into your blog to provide a grid of photo thumbnails.

For the IndieWeb Day 3 challenge, I saw on the To Do list that we needed to clean up the Personal Domains page and the Domain Registrar page and merge them. I took a swing at it, and it can be seen here. If you have further thoughts, please help contribute!

I decided to work on my website theme for a bit. In order to support it, today I shipped(with a minor bug, sorry), a new Indieweb plugin that adds the ability to add the rel-me links inside the h-card widget instead of by themselves. I’m now using it. In my theme, I added support for a dedicated h-card page. I’ll be turning it on on my site likely in future as I experiment with moving my feed off of my main page.

Adding an SSL to my domain has now presented me with a headache for my #indieweb logins.
One of the many great things about the Indieweb is that I can use my domain URL to log into and use different services. But now changing from http:
to https:
those services see that as a new URL.
Disabling the redirect in the .htaccess
file only works for the root. Once I try to authenticate with the WordPress element we’re right back to using the secure URL.
Most of this problem is of my own creation. I don’t run WordPress for my whole site. Only the /blog
part is WP as I wanted to retain a POSH homepage and be able to play around on the non-blog parts.
This means the URL I have to use is https://davidjohnmead.com/blog
. Not great as most things are geared around the root.
I think I’m just going to have to discard my old URL login and start anew with the secure one.
