Growing—that’s a word I want to employ when talking about my personal sites online. Like a garden, I’m constantly puttering around in them. Sometimes I plow and sow a whole new feature for a site. Sometimes I just pick weeds.
I like this analogy. It reminds me of the the cooking analogy that others have made.
Most of my favorite websites out there are grown—homegrown in fact. They are corners of the web where some unique human has been nurturing, curating, and growing stuff for years. Their blog posts, their links, their thoughts, their aesthetic, their markup, their style, everything about their site—and themselves—shows growth and evolution and change through the years. It’s a beautiful thing, a kind of artifact that could never be replicated or manufactured on a deadline.
This part of the web, this organic part, stands in start contrast to the industrial web where websites are made and resources extracted.

Zonelets is a simple HTML blogging engine with scrappy, DIY spirit! I made it because I really want everyone to blog, but I felt that the existing options were generally overcomplicated and commercially-focused in a way that made web creativity feel intimidating and arcane.
I love the philosophy behind this blogging tool, which actively encourages you to learn a little bit of HTML:
Plenty of services can help you to “create a professional-looking website without writing a single line of code.” Now, thanks to Zonelets, you can create an UNPROFESSIONAL-looking website by writing NUMEROUS lines of code!

Didn’t wind up touching any code this weekend during #indiewebcamp. I did do a lot of writing that I hope to publish at some point. Which is kinda the point in having a blog. And as it often works out, the code issue I wasn’t seeing jumped right out tonight.

"text": "Back at the start of the (first) lockdown, I wrote about using my website as an outlet:\n\n\n While you\u2019re stuck inside, your website is not just a place you can go to, it\u2019s a place you can control, a place you can maintain, a place you can tidy up, a place you can expand. Most of all, it\u2019s a place you can lose yourself in, even if it\u2019s just for a little while.\n\n\nLast week was eventful and stressful. For everyone. I found myself once again taking refuge in my website, tinkering with its inner workings in the way that someone else would potter about in their shed or take to their garage to strip down the engine of some automotive device.\n\nColly drew my attention to Bookshop.org, newly launched in the UK. It\u2019s an umbrella website for independent bookshops to sell through. It\u2019s also got an affiliate scheme, much like Amazon. I set up a Bookshop page for myself.\n\nI\u2019ve been tracking the books I\u2019m reading for the past three years here on my own website. I set about reproducing that list on Bookshop.\n\nIt was exactly the kind of not-exactly-mindless but definitely-not-challenging task that was perfect for the state of my brain last week. Search for a book; find the ISBN number; paste that number into a form. It\u2019s the kind of task that a real programmer would immediately set about automating but one that I embraced as a kind of menial task to keep me occupied.\n\nI wasn\u2019t able to get a one-to-one match between the list on my site and my reading list on Bookshop. Some titles aren\u2019t available in the online catalogue. For example, the book I\u2019m reading right now\u2014A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit\u2014is nowhere to be found, which seems like an odd omission.\n\nBut most of the books I\u2019ve read are there on Bookshop.org, complete with pretty book covers. Then I decided to reverse the process of my menial task. I took all of the ISBN numbers from Bookshop and add them as machine tags to my reading notes here on my own website. Book cover images on Bookshop have predictable URLs that use the ISBN number (well, technically the EAN number, or ISBN-13, but let\u2019s not go down a 927 rabbit hole here). So now I\u2019m using that metadata to pull in images from Bookshop.org to illustrate my reading notes here on adactio.com.\n\nI\u2019m linking to the corresponding book on Bookshop.org using this URL structure:\n\nhttps://uk.bookshop.org/a/{{ affiliate code }}/{{ ISBN number }}\n\nI realised that I could also link to the corresponding entry on Open Library using this URL structure:\n\nhttps://openlibrary.org/isbn/{{ ISBN number }}\n\nHere, for example, is my note for The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie. That entry has a tag:\n\nbook:ean=9780356506999\n\nWith that information I can illustrate my note with this image:\n\nhttps://images-eu.bookshop.org/product-images/images/9780356506999.jpg\n\nI\u2019m linking off to this URL on Bookshop.org:\n\nhttps://uk.bookshop.org/a/980/9780356506999\n\nAnd this URL on Open Library:\n\nhttps://openlibrary.org/isbn/9780356506999\n\nThe end result is that my reading list now has more links and pretty pictures.\n\nOh, I also set up a couple of shorter lists on Bookshop.org:\n\nFavourite Non-fiction\nFavourite Fiction\nThe books listed in those are drawn from my end of the year round-ups when I try to pick one favourite non-fiction book and one favourite work of fiction (almost always speculative fiction). The books in those two lists are the ones that get two hearty thumbs up from me. If you click through to buy one of them, the price might not be as cheap as on Amazon, but you\u2019ll be supporting an independent bookshop.",

Some suggested that the digital garden was a backlash to the internet we’ve become grudgingly accustomed to, where things go viral, change is looked down upon, and sites are one-dimensional. Facebook and Twitter profiles have neat slots for photos and posts, but enthusiasts of digital gardens reject those fixed design elements. The sense of time and space to explore is key.

@channyun Hi, I'm in Seoul for a 3 months business trip and wanted to reach out to you because I saw that you're the author of the Korean translation in the IndieWeb wiki. I'm interested to see if you guys perhaps have a Homebrew Website Club and if you'd be interested in recording a podcast together with me like I did with Martijn https://jeena.net/pods/17
