Consume less, create more

Editing is hard because you realize how bad you are. But editing is easy because we’re all better at criticizing than we are at creating.

Relatable:

My essay was garbage. But it was my garbage.

This essay is most definitely not garbage. I like it very much.

The next step is to add a link or button on the #indieweb event like:

📆 Add to Calendar

to #interoperate with existing apps & services via .ics download (@IETF #openstandard #RFC5545). @schmarty & @gRegorLove do this. I’ll add code for my events too
#indieweb #interoperate #openstandard #RFC5545
The #indieweb has #federated events and RSVPs using #Webmention and #microformats2 h-event.

That Homebrew Website Club SF event was a demo thereof:

Quite good, yet as observed, insufficient for Google Calendar users
#indieweb #federated #Webmention #microformats2
Replacement is a good goal @dietrich.

The #indieweb recognizes replacement may be impractical for a person or their friends in the short term.

The indieweb strategy is to federate, interoperate, and build bridges to transition in parallel.

Let’s begin
Might be attending IndieWebCamp NYC

Why We All Need a Personal Website – Plus Practical Tips for How to Build One - Adobe 99U

The best time to make a personal website is 20 years ago. The second best time to make a personal website is now.

Chris offers some illustrated advice:

  • Define the purpose of your site
  • Organize your content
  • Look for inspiration
  • Own your own domain name
  • Build your website

Showing IndieAuth and Micropub at HWCLondon!

Haha, yup! That said, I’ll definitely ping you (and drop it in the IndieWeb chat) when I get this base-line system going. Going to tear down what I have with https://fortress.black.af to focus on this.

IndieWebCamps Timeline 2011-2019: Amsterdam to Utrecht

SemPress war das erste WordPress Theme (September 2002), das Microformats 2 unterstützte und somit voll IndieWeb-kompatibel war. Seit ein paar Monaten/Jahren gibt es zwar weitere Themes die MF2 unterstützen, aber SemPress ist seit fast 7 Jahren (Dezember 2002) immer noch das einzige, das über WordPress.org installierbar (ist das ein Wort?) ist.

Prateek Saxena arbeitet gerade daran, das zu ändern! Sein Theme ist seit diesem Jahr auf WordPress.org und er arbeitet fleißig am MF2 Support.

`war ne lange Zeit 🙂

A journey to the underworld that is RDF

Tumblr Sold to Automattic (Diary of Dennis)
What it means for WordPress.com users is not clear either. But if we start to speculate based on the term “standardize” he used in his statement, it’s likely that the company will enable sharing or reblogging across both services. It could also be that they bring registered users of both services closer together, which could also mean that it becomes easier for users of both services to comment and interact with each other. If we speculate further, it could become a reality that both services are integrated into the same feed or reader, which is how both communities could meet and interact with each other.

This was a surprise for me. I’m not sure what any of this means for Tumblr or WordPress.com customers but I think it’s an exciting development. Perhaps we’ll get more Indieweb features such as Webmentions.

Tumblr and… App.net

MySpace with web standards and a personalized domain name that you can export anytime as html. Using webmentions & some form of oAuth. That’s what is going to win.

I'm going!

So excited to be co-organizing an IndieWebCamp in NYC!

Looking to start your personal website? Want to take control of your social media content?

Join us at Pace University in downtown Manhattan on October 5th and 6th!

And now https://lwa.black.af/ is up with some new copy. The reader link is valid but I took it off for now.
Working on the actual Microsub plumbing after I get the IndieAuth flow going

I’m up late because I got a red-eye. Going to use the time now to add some more copy to https://lwa.black.af then add some stuff like IndieAuth and Micropub support. Microsub will be the newest spec I have to implement.

Very excited!

Threaded Replies and Comments with Webmentions in WordPress (BoffoSocko)
This is how comments and replies on the internet were meant to be! You can now easily implement them in WordPress.

I see a bit of odd behaviour regarding Webmentions, Semantic Linkbacks and comments. There are five responses in this thread which started with a post from my blog that that was syndicated to micro.blog. Three of the responses show up under the original blog post. However, two show up under my Webmentions collection page.

I am not using the WordPress Webmention for Comments plugin. Can you help?

It also seems that it’s no longer possible to change the Webmention type via Semantic Linkbacks.
