Project Journal: IndieWeb Webmentions: Plan:

I have read the background on Webmentions and am now ready to move on to figuring out how to make a custom block pattern. There is the easy way, use a plugin, and the other way, setup a page as you want, copy the HTML to escape the HTML and other steps that seem a little complicated...

Day 17 of 100 #100DaysofIndieWeb, #IndieWeb, #ProjectJournal, #ProjectManagement #WordPress

#introduction I’m a frontend web developer working with a NASA contractor. I have a disability called spinal muscular atrophy. Because of that I’m interested in—and often write about—assistive technology.

I love side projects and run several of them. You can find out about my projects and interests on my website: https://blakewatson.com

Topics I post about:

#AssistiveTech #apple #dnd #design #disability #IndieWeb #nasa #sma #space #synthwave #tech #typography #webdev #writing

What was one of your quirky hobby websites back in the day?

I ran a dating service for characters in a text-based MUD and had a catalog of all my bootleg Rush CDs.

#indieWeb

The problem is anyone can claim to be Jason Momoa on here… how do we know when the accounts are real? @MarkRuffalo put up a photo with him holding a handmade sign, and we’re taking that on faith.

But this account @prideofgypsies isn’t doing anything I can see to claim to be real, there’s no way to know here on Masto’s Wild West / #Indieweb

#Film #TV #Celebrities

Thinking about reorganizing my personal website - because the feed of what I'm reading and thinking about is all over the place. Which, uh, might say something about me. https://werd.io/2023/organizing-my-blog #indieweb #blogging

Ivory and Micro.blog, not yet

I’m going to start the process of enabling ActivityPub support for older Micro.blog accounts this week, likely tomorrow. You’ll be able to disable it if you don’t want it. But in the long run it’ll help bridge conversations across the networks.

@axbom @eric I wish we had an #indieweb Technorati. I want to browse and subscribe to people blogging around certain tags again.

Woohoo, my #AstroWebsite now has a proper domain. I decided that it was just easier to create a subdomain, so now you can access my tech blog at http://frontmatter.elizabethtai.com/

I think the SSL certs will take some time to kick in.

I think.

Next ... perhaps ... to figure out how to implement web mentions 😅 Hooo boooy #IndieWeb

#Website

@DerBuddler "Es ist kompliziert".

Falls deine Frage ist ob ich mich noch auf Twitter herum treibe dann ist die Antwort ein klares Nein 😜

Ansonsten halte ich es nach dem #POSSE Prinzip des #IndieWeb.

Today, I read many of the Articles on the Webmention page. Admittedly, there are many that are geared towards non-WordPress implementations. There is also history embedded into many of the articles. Tomorrow, I will update my plan and move on to starting to learn how to build a block editor pattern.

Day 16 of 100 #100DaysofIndieWeb, #IndieWeb, #ProjectJournal, #WordPress (https://tmichellemoore.com/?p=152296)

So visited #Twitter to check up on my friends and saw one of my follows lament the end of Tweetbot by @tapbots which I totally get.

But she says she will hang on cos Twitter is her home.

At which point I had to nag her to join #Mastodon

She's an influencer in her field, so I guess the network effects are hard to let go.

But still? Why hang out in a place that made you so miserable you stopped posting?

We really need to spread #POSSE #IndieWeb principles.

@AnokheeTara@ohai.social indeed “drinking our own champagne” / “drinking your own champagne” was one of the proposed alternatives when the community was renaming “selfdogfooding”, though it had some downsides:

https://indieweb.org/selfdogfood#drinking_our_own_champagne

I like your points about emphasizing where something is amazing, and encouraging more fun and celebration. More positive metaphors!

“taste your own cooking” is an excellent encouragement and variant of “eat what you cook” — I added it to the wiki (and quoted you if you don’t mind!) https://indieweb.org/eat_what_you_cook#Variants

I have finally taken the first step towards implementing my own Micropub endpoint. Only notes (what I for some reason prefer to call posts) currently provisioned for but I can see the attraction of opening up my possibilities for adding content to my own site (and from there to re-posting in the silos). Feels good to bring the dev skills back online (albeit slowly - and wow the code is brittle right now) 😀 #indieweb #micropub

@elizabethtai.com (@liztai@hachyderm.io) either is an excellent and challenging #100Days project.

Join us in the #IndieWeb chat https://chat.indieweb.org/ for tips and help with figuring out the domain thing!
@elizabethtai.com (@liztai@hachyderm.io @liztai) Welcome and good luck with shifting to your domain name!

By “post 1 post a day in the #Indieweb way” it sounds like you’ve started a 100 days of blogging project (which is great!) rather than posting about IndieWeb topics in particular.

Also great if you do plan to specifically write about your #IndieWeb adventures (that’s more the intent of #100DaysOfIndieWeb), like choosing/setting up your domain, your personal publishing flow, how you are publishing on your own site and distributing your posts on Mastodon etc.

Whichever you choose, use your primary domain @elizabethtai.com to sign-in to the IndieWeb wiki and add yourself to the respective subsection here:

Make your own simple, public, searchable Twitter archive

Make your own simple, public, searchable Twitter archive

Found something I wrote in 2009, when Yahoo shut down Geocities:

"It’s funny: the things we expect to disappear from the web often don’t, but the things we expect to be permanent often do drop out of existence. GeoCities appeared 14 years ago. Will today’s blogs, Facebook pages, forums, and wikis still be around 14 years from now?"

https://speedforce.org/2009/10/geocities-rip/

The blog I posted it on is still there. A lot of sites it linked to aren't.

3 weeks since the 1st, since asking you to own your notes^1

Still tweeting in Big Chad’s garage or tooting in little Chad’s garage next door?^2 What's the delay?

Choosing a domain name?^3
Or a service or other path?^4
Or #TwitterMigration to #Mastodon?

Two #IndieWeb alternatives to owning your notes (https://micro.blog/ or https://fed.brid.gy/, either with your own domain) both support migrating your followers from Mastodon.

For example, I migrated my experimental @t@xoxo.zone Mastodon account to my own site^5, @tantek.com, thanks to the migration support in Bridgy Fed.

If you’re not sure where you’d like to migrate, you can try https://micro.blog/ for 30 days to see if it works for you.

If you’re a #webDev or otherwise like to tinker, it’s well worth the time to setup your own website with an SSG or CMS^6 or your own code, and grow it incrementally as you post and have time to do so.

Either way, drop by https://chat.indieweb.org/ and ask any questions you have.

There’s a whole community that wants you to succeed, that wants to help you own your notes.


This is day 21 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb #100Days, written the night after.
