Looking forward to fiddling with my website at Homebrew Website Club this evening in the @Clearleft studio from 6pm-7:30pm. Come along and fiddle with your website.
On an individual and small collective basis, the IndieWeb already works. But does an IndieWeb approach scale to the general public? If it doesn’t scale yet, can we, who envision and design and build, create a new generation of tools that will help give birth to a flourishing, independent web? One that is as accessible to ordinary internet users as Twitter and Facebook and Instagram?

Keep your money in your shoes.
Put your trouble behind.

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.
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.
