There are microformats parser libraries in a variety of languages, so adding parsing is the relatively easy step: http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2#Parsers

Mastodon and micro.blog publish microformats. Most WordPress themes publish legacy microformats1.

Most of the "big" readers don't support microformats yet, but the #indieweb community is making some progress. Check out @aaronpk's post https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet.

I use https://granary.io to convert my h-feed to Atom. It's more DRY than maintaining a separate XML file.

Textpattern and Webmention

HWC NYC Wrap-Up 2019-04-03

#HWC #NYC #IndieWeb #wrap-up

Indie web question: Any recommendations for a better WordPress plugin for sending webmentions? I’m using the Webmention plugin but it doesn’t seem to send a comprehensive webmention. See this. Or, am I doing something incorrectly?

I love the way that Benjamin is documenting his activities at Homebrew Website Club Brighton each week:

Another highly productive 90 mins.

Homebrew website club is on every Thursday evening 6.00-7.30pm at Clearleft. You should come along!

Just testing my micropub endpoint still works 😉

People of Brighton who have websites: remember that this evening—and every Thursday evening—it’s Homebrew Website Club Brighton in the @Clearleft studio from 6pm to 7:30pm:

There's also indieweb.xyz which is more broad, topically.

Ok. that was the last test. I give up on posting images via Micropub on WordPress. I’ll be moved by morning. This domain will probably go dormant while I move, then still not sure if I’ll continue to blog here. 🤔 I’ll make sure to post a new feed link for the one or two who may be following that way.

New features: saved drafts on Micro.blog, updated macOS app, Tumblr import

What I Did Mar 18th - Mar 24th

Yes: Looking forward to attending my third consecutive IndieWeb Summit in Portland, OR!
