Oh that was the same for me. I had a static site using Jekyll some time ago but then ended up writing my own blog as well. Frankly, if I had to do it all over again, I’d opt for a light system that makes it easier for me to plug in my own bits for Webmentions and other IndieWeb stuff

aye! lemme know if you need help with that! or pop into https://chat.indieweb.org/dev/!

# I'm three weeks in to my journalling streak and it feels good to have kept it going, not that there's really been anything earth-shattering written there. It definitely helps having a little reminder at the top of the blog page that is also a direct link to the journal page.

# Non-WordPress blog status update:

  • RSS feeds (live & daily) - done
  • inline editing - done
  • image uploads - done

Everything I wanted to achieve for a version 1.0 has been completed. It's been relatively easy as it's all based on the custom layer that I created on top of WordPress. I have just had to transpose the code over and replace WordPress specific function with normal PHP and JavaScript. The only thing that hasn't translated has been treating each day as a single post. For now.

I've been thinking about how I could implement a comment system but that's not a priority right now. I also looked at sending/receiving webmentions but that's still a bit beyond me at present, maybe I'll work out how to do it in future but, again, it's not a priority.

The real question is do I make the switch to this system? There's no way I'm going to (be able to) migrate existing content over so the WordPress blog would still have to exist as an archive. I also wouldn't migrate the Garden as that would be too much work. The Journal could be fair game, however.

In the meantime, I'll run the non-wp blog in the background to give it a thorough test before making any decisions as I'm sure there are bugs that will need to be ironed out. Irrespective of any issues I'm really happy with what I've been able to create thus far.

# I appear to have broken the RSS feed generator on the WordPress blog so the decision may be getting made for me.

# Look like I've managed to fix it so an enforced change isn't on the cards just yet.

# And there we have it, Lockdown 3 in England until further notice due to continued increases in Covid cases. The easing of restrictions is tied to the vaccination program so we could be in to March before anything changes.

Parts completed in Fortress:

  • Drop-in support as a IndieAuth provider (it still requires setup)

Things that I’m planning to complete:

  • Audit log of each token use
  • Revoke tokens from Web
  • Add information on dashboard about supported providers
  • Add flow for adding devices

One Year Since The #IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club Met In Person And Other Last Times - Tantek

Expect more poignant one-year anniversary memories this March.

We reached our disembarkation stop and stepped off. I put my mask away. We hugged and said our goodbyes. Didn’t think it would be the last time I’d ride MUNI light rail. Or hug a friend without a second thought.

Why I Still Use RSS | atthislink

Having only the content I want to see only be shown when I want to see it with the freedom to jump between readers as I please, all with no ads? For me, no other service comes close to the flexibility, robustness, and overall ease-of-use that RSS offers.

There’s a voice inside your head that prevents you from sharing ideas—punch it in the face. - Airbag Industries

Violence is never the answer, unless you’re dealing with nazis or your inner critic.

The excuses—or, I’m sorry, reasons—I hear folks say they can’t write include: I’m not very good at writing (you can’t improve if you don’t write often), my website isn’t finished (classic, and also guilty so shut up), and I don’t know what to write about, there’s nothing new for me to add (oh boy).

Reminder that it's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tomorrow! I hope to see you there at 1730 for some website stuff! https://events.indieweb.org/2021/03/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-zpkxpaQ4wCgD

Welp, backlog of webmentions from telegraph.p3k.io means you may see some poorly timed interactions from me - sorry 🙃

@Cambridgeport90 I don't worry about them stepping on each other, I simply make sure they're cross-linked so that if I go looking for something, I'll be able to find it. Webmention definitely helps in this respect.

As an example you'll notice that my earlier response (http://stream.boffosocko.com/2021/roberthaisfield-i-agree-wholeheartedly-and-have-written-a-bit-about) links to part of the related commentary on my main site, so there will be a webmention in the comments there that ties it all together.

fluffy rambles: Where I'm at right now

Agh, I need a way to retag some posts that have a particular post. Now I really wish someone built a CMS UI that worked against Micropub.

Once again, need to fix the rendering of my Webmention feed on my site. It’s doing it manually right now until I have Lwa acting as a Webmention service.

I really like the Life Happens page in the IndieWeb wiki that Ana highlights. Such a great message to acknowledge that other things happen in people’s lives that can prevent them participating in a community.

Great post! I wrote about a related topic back in 2017. It’s time for a browser to become the lynchpin in the future of the social web.
