This will need to be addressed.</p>\n<p>Related to this, I came across Ana's \"Blogging and me\" post at <a href=\"https://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/\">https://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/</a> . She went through very similar cycles as I did: a website first, blogging of anything, that gradually became a hyper-focused, work-only site, which then got neglected, because it wasn't fun any more. Read it. If you didn't (yet) had these cycles, or if you already did; in both cases, it's a fantastic piece.</p>\n<a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2007_large.jpg\"><img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2007.jpg\" title=\"2007.jpg\" alt=\"Such design, much images.

Also, curves! Curves everywhere! Regardless, I believe this was a pleasent to look at design and colour combination, plus those photos are all missing from my site at the moment o.O\n<h2>2008 - 2013 - the portfolio years</h2>\n<p>Parallel to th community site idea, I wanted to have a portfolio site; one that is professional content only. At that point, I still believed my life will have something to do with photography, so I made a photo portfolio site under the new domain <code>petermolnar.eu</code>. My name is quite a common one in Hungary, but the <code>.eu</code> domains were new, and I grabbed it immediately.</p>\n<p>During these years I actively participated in an alternative community in Hungary. I wrote some articles to their site, which are still up, to this very day, but the idea to put those on my own site (as well) didn't occur to me.</p>\n<p>In 2010 , the limitations of my CMS collided with the fact that I lost touch with most people who had some content on that community site. I decided to close it, and turn my full attention towards a personal site - by switching it to WordPress.</p>\n<p>Soon after college (2009), I ended up working as a sysadmin; it made sense to start writing my findings, my how-tos (mostly for myself) down.</p>\n<p>With that, I've thrown a silly amount of old content away. No thoughts or personal blog entries any more: streamlined photo portfolio, photo equiment review - <em>this one never even took off; the 2 entries I wrote for it are so low quality that they were not worth salvaging</em> -, and a sysadmin blog is the way to go! I should never have done that, but these were the early Facebook years; everyone was doing personal communication in social silos. It seemed like a good idea that time. Mea culpa.</p>\n<p>I did try cross-posting and syndicating early on: links to new entries to twitter, to facebook, but soon it looked overwhelming. When the same content goes everywhere, and you happend to have a large cross-section of the same people on each silo, it'll be too much for them.</p>\n<img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2010.jpg\" title=\"2010.jpg\" alt=\"First iteration of my very own WordPress theme - along with the immeasurable changes of finally moving to my own domain, with only professional-ish content\" />\n    First iteration of my very own WordPress theme - along with the immeasurable changes of finally moving to my own domain, with only professional-ish content\n<p>Slowly, but steadily, topics and sections kept creeping back in. At first, it was merely a <code>photoblog</code> tab, in which I put collection of images grouped by a topic. It took me a while to realize I didn't like it that way: without context, the galleries were distant; they didn't feel like memories, more like and extended, endless portfolio, yet I kept going with it for years.</p>\n<img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2011.jpg\" title=\"2011.jpg\" alt=\"Second WordPress theme from somewhere in 2011\" />\n    Second WordPress theme from somewhere in 2011\n<p>By the end of 2013, I was back to having a \"world view\" section that was to become \"journal\".

It was already a responsive design; on mobile, it because a simple list of full-width images.\n<p>Once you read too many studies on the internet you may start questioning your own experiences with certain things. One of these is the \"light on dark\" vs \"dark on light\" representation when it comes to computers and the web. To obey this, I started presenting text content in light, photo content with dark background and themeing; a route I should never have taken.</p>\n<p>During the 15 years prior to this, my site was dark. This page is supposed to be my home, and it's supposed to represent me on the internet. And I'm not a light background person; I never was. When I still used Window XP it looked like this:</p>\n<img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/windows-xp-themed.png\" title=\"windows-xp-themed.png\" alt=\"The bottom is a launcher bar, not opened applications.\" />\n    The bottom is a launcher bar, not opened applications. \n<p>Even so, for the coming years, the design went lighter and lighter.</p>\n<h3>2016</h3>\n<img src=\"https://petermolnar.net/article/content-archeology/2016.jpg\" title=\"2016.jpg\" alt=\"Painfully bright, and never felt like my own.

So for everyone to be happy, I added an option to switch between them, making the dark, or the operating system setting the default. I also tried to make it look like some really messed up terminal. It didn't work.\n<p>And thus we arrived to 2020, and you're looking at the freshest, most current iteration of my website.</p>\n<h2>Conclusions</h2>\n<p>I think at the beginning I started to dig my sites up to verify how much have I gone back to my roots. To see how it started, how it done, when it was solely for the fun. Ana's post, which I already mentioned<a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fn9\">9</a> was definitely a trigger to take this journey.</p>\n<p>I lost the first two designs. I remember the very first vividly, with the water-like repeating background. The second I completely forgot about, and only had some reminders in words, from a microblog entry, from 2001, when I was being happy replacing it with something fresh and new.</p>\n<p>My conclusions are simple: your homepage is called that for a reason. It's a poster, a gallery, a window to you, out for anyone to visit, to see. Show everything; show all the topics you're interested in, drag all the posts from decades ago, and only police the ones that are truly outdated - if there are any. It's not a social media profile. It's not a resume. It's you.</p>\n\n\n<ol><li><p><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Hungary\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Hungary</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref1\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.0_r6/i386/iso-cd/\">https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.0_r6/i386/iso-cd/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref2\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/\">https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref3\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"http://www.kevinmarks.com/\">http://www.kevinmarks.com/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref4\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"http://www.csillagkapu.hu/\">http://www.csillagkapu.hu/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref5\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"http://www.csillagkapu.hu/img/agbanner.gif\">http://www.csillagkapu.hu/img/agbanner.gif</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref6\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/4.0_r0/i386/iso-cd/\">https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/4.0_r0/i386/iso-cd/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref7\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://indieweb.org/\">https://indieweb.org/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref8\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n<li><p><a href=\"https://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/\">https://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/</a><a href=\"https://petermolnar.net/#fnref9\">\u21a9</a></p></li>\n</ol>",

No thoughts or personal blog entries any more: streamlined photo portfolio, photo equiment review - this one never even took off; the 2 entries I wrote for it are so low quality that they were not worth salvaging -, and a sysadmin blog is the way to go! I should never have done that, but these were the early Facebook years; everyone was doing personal communication in social silos. It seemed like a good idea that time. Mea culpa.\nI did try cross-posting and syndicating early on: links to new entries to twitter, to facebook, but soon it looked overwhelming. When the same content goes everywhere, and you happend to have a large cross-section of the same people on each silo, it'll be too much for them.\n\n    First iteration of my very own WordPress theme - along with the immeasurable changes of finally moving to my own domain, with only professional-ish content\nSlowly, but steadily, topics and sections kept creeping back in. At first, it was merely a photoblog tab, in which I put collection of images grouped by a topic. It took me a while to realize I didn't like it that way: without context, the galleries were distant; they didn't feel like memories, more like and extended, endless portfolio, yet I kept going with it for years.\n\n    Second WordPress theme from somewhere in 2011\nBy the end of 2013, I was back to having a \"world view\" section that was to become \"journal\". The trigger for this was our relocation to England: there was an irrepressible urge to write about our new life.\n\n    Thankfully the streamlining didn't stick and the site kept getting more content sections back\n2014 - 2017 - The features and contents years\nSometimes in 2014 I stumbled upon the indieweb8 community. With that, my site started to get features - and a lot of them.\n2014\n\n    See those bubbles? Those were mainly comments, backfilled from Facebook.\n\n    Calculated read time; I believe medium.com brought it in. \n\n    I still had my photo portfolio as well. It was already a responsive design; on mobile, it because a simple list of full-width images.\nOnce you read too many studies on the internet you may start questioning your own experiences with certain things. One of these is the \"light on dark\" vs \"dark on light\" representation when it comes to computers and the web. To obey this, I started presenting text content in light, photo content with dark background and themeing; a route I should never have taken.\nDuring the 15 years prior to this, my site was dark. This page is supposed to be my home, and it's supposed to represent me on the internet. And I'm not a light background person; I never was. When I still used Window XP it looked like this:\n\n    The bottom is a launcher bar, not opened applications. \nEven so, for the coming years, the design went lighter and lighter.\n2016\n\n    Painfully bright, and never felt like my own. Plus there was a huge stream of content: bookmarks, quotes, twitter reply copies, etc. I turned my site into a stream, and the more content it had, the more distant it felt, the less of a homepage it became.\n2017\n\n    In 2017, I found the icons I'm using till this very day, but I still had the dreaded light design. Plus I added even more content, including the idea to backfill EVERYTHING I ever made on the internet. Needless to say this idea was later reveted, though without the journey, I may never have realized why it was bad.\n2018 - back to the roots: dark, static, simple.\nContent was dropped, and I again, felt like I have a homepage, and not a one person social media site.\n\n    Back to the darkness. Still not the best, but much less strain on my eyes. \n\n    Turned out the studies were right about a few things, and that for some, light on dark is unreadable. So for everyone to be happy, I added an option to switch between them, making the dark, or the operating system setting the default. I also tried to make it look like some really messed up terminal. It didn't work.\nAnd thus we arrived to 2020, and you're looking at the freshest, most current iteration of my website.\nConclusions\nI think at the beginning I started to dig my sites up to verify how much have I gone back to my roots. To see how it started, how it done, when it was solely for the fun. Ana's post, which I already mentioned9 was definitely a trigger to take this journey.\nI lost the first two designs. I remember the very first vividly, with the water-like repeating background. The second I completely forgot about, and only had some reminders in words, from a microblog entry, from 2001, when I was being happy replacing it with something fresh and new.\nMy conclusions are simple: your homepage is called that for a reason. It's a poster, a gallery, a window to you, out for anyone to visit, to see. Show everything; show all the topics you're interested in, drag all the posts from decades ago, and only police the ones that are truly outdated - if there are any. It's not a social media profile. It's not a resume. It's you.\n\n\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Hungary\u21a9\nhttps://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.0_r6/i386/iso-cd/\u21a9\nhttps://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/\u21a9\nhttp://www.kevinmarks.com/\u21a9\nhttp://www.csillagkapu.hu/\u21a9\nhttp://www.csillagkapu.hu/img/agbanner.gif\u21a9\nhttps://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/4.0_r0/i386/iso-cd/\u21a9\nhttps://indieweb.org/\u21a9\nhttps://ohhelloana.blog/blogging-and-me/\u21a9"

I realized that I stopped posting to my site because of the broken flow of Webmentions for my site, which in turn, means I can’t get my content to Twitter. I’m glad that I’m aware of that in myself because it makes me ask “why do I care that I can’t get to Twitter?”

I wrote up some thoughts on how I’ll have Koype handle Webmention configuration remotely over its IndieWeb wiki page. Right now, it’s a bit theortical but this will work well since it’s based on the work of the Micropub specification. I almost put it in Micropub but that seemed like I was overloading Micropub’s capabilities and this’ll allow it to be agnostic from one’s ability to use Micropub.

Lemme know what y’all think.

There’s a great feature of having a live conference that people can attend! But it’s extremely difficult to do properly especially when people are ten hours away. I wonder if we, in the IndieWeb, can take this opportunity to distribute this. There’s probably prior art on this - I haven’t seen it yet.

The idea is to have people pre-record talks and information to be about 4 - 5 hours worth, total. Then we can have a live streaming server play this playlist on loop about 6 times so (ideally) everyone can see them as if they were watching it for the first time. After the loop is done for about 6 times, we could then make individual video pages, similar to how conferences publish videos after a talk.

What does the community think? I’m hoping this would reduce the pressure to agree/find on a time and distributes it out for people. We’d need people in at least 4 different zones to help make sure that the videos are looping correctly (but that shouldn’t be too hard). I think TwiT does a good job of this.
