I've made some layout changes to my website: https://pbarker.dev/.

I've moved the site intro and social links over to the left side of the main page to make more space for posts. I've shortened the footer and moved info about the site to a dedicated page. I've made it easier to get to the RSS/ATOM feeds, tags list and archives.

I've also added a newsletter link which takes you to Buttondown where you can subscribe to get my posts by email: https://buttondown.email/pbarker/.

And lastly, each post now has a "Thanks for reading!" box at the end of the page which I'll be expanding with some more info and links soon.

My next plan in terms of site layout is to upgrade to Bootstrap v5.3 once it's out as it gives improved support for switching between dark & light modes (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/customize/color-modes/).

You can also expect a post celebrating my 10 years of contribution to OpenEmbedded & Yocto Project to go live soon. But first, I need to do some real work...

I think I’m in need of some #IndieWeb help. 🥴

So, in classic IndieWeb fashion, I want my website to be my hub on the internet.

But I’ve been looking into all the different standards (#Webmentions, #Micropub, #ActivityPub, etc.) but I'm not sure which one or which combination of them is best for my needs.

So I thought I might reach out on here with what I'm trying to do and see what people thought were some go ways to go about it.

Oh hey, my plugins weren't the cause of errors on my #IndieWeb #Known blog when updating the PHP version.

I don't really have a clue at the moment.

Sigh.

There's not enough time in the day to be a slave to capitalism and do things you enjoy.

I'll have to pick @ben or maybe @KevinMarks brains when the great economy gives me time.

New site is up, mostly just style changes along with migration back to jekyll.
I also added a Mastodon feed on the home page (uses client side JS).
The website is very much not mobile friendly at the moment.

Text-only blog is the fastest blog to be rendered in the browsers.

Updated my blog’s homepage. A small "cosmic" running in the background using SVG animateMotion. Still experimenting.

Recently added a "Penpal" page.

Cleaned up a bit of the CSS. Some adjustments to the layout. It feels neater.

I am running for election in this month’s #W3C (@w3.org @w3c@w3c.social @w3c) Advisory Board (AB) election¹ and blogged my personal statement: https://tantek.com/2023/128/b1/running-for-w3c-advisory-board-ab-election

@fantasai.inkedblade.net (@fantasai@w3c.social @fantasai) is also running for the #W3CAB, and admirably blogged her imminent affiliation change *before* the election started: https://fantasai.inkedblade.net/weblog/2023/affiliation-change/ — Congrats Elika! Your new affiliation is lucky to have you.

In addition to the two of us, @cwilso.com (@cdub@mastodon.social @cwilso) also posts on his own blog and is running for the AB.

Those are the three candidates I know have their own personal #website, and was able to verify by searching for candidates on the web, #socialMedia, etc.

Three out of the nine candidates² running for election to the World Wide Web Consortium’s Advisory Board.

As I wrote in my statement:

> “I believe governance of W3C, and advising thereof, is most effectively done by those … who directly use & create on the web using W3C standards. This direct connection to the actual work of the web and W3C is essential to prioritizing the purpose & scope of governance thereof.”

I firmly believe that direct hands-on experience with using the web, beyond reading the web or using someone else’s apps, actually writing to the web, posting on the web, creating for the web, provides better insight into the technologies & standards necessary to evolve the web, how to improve them and represent the communities working on them.

I ask for your support for the Advisory Board, and support for those who create on the web.

If any other candidates have their own #IndieWeb site (or set one up!), and especially if they blog their personal statements, I will gladly link to them as well.

Thanks for your consideration.

Ever since I read that Bluesky has about 1.9 million folks on the waiting list, I’ve been thinking about what happens as more invites roll out. By comparison: Mastodon has over 7 million users, with 1 million on a single server. Plus a bunch more across the non-Mastodon fediverse.

Why I Retired My Webmention Server #oldaily https://www.downes.ca/post/75204 As readers know, I've tinkered with implementing things like WebMentions and Microformats and Indieweb and Brid.gy over the years. Readers will also know my general lack of success, partially (I argue) because of significantly poor documentation, and partially because it's overly cumbersome. I do love the concept of #indieweb and won't let that go, though. But there has to be a better way.

Link: Why I Retired My Webmention Server 🔗 Also worth noting that sending webmentions is a pain because of microformats. Some endpoints parse and display mine, others don’t.

It has been years since I went on to buy a custom domain for me, after being convinced by the #IndieWeb wiki that it would be an important cornerstone of my web identity.

One upside I just realized is that I never really bothered to hide my beautiful email from spammers ( it's just right there on my home page) and I never really got much spam. Why? Because it's a super underused TLD, so scrapers probably don't look for it.

I have an #accessibility question for the #WebDev community: How can I make an accessible spoiler element? On my site, I use a #CSS class to make my div have a black background, and text color set to black. On hover (or on tap on mobile) the background and text color is unset. It's dawned on me though that this surely isn't doing anything for screen readers. So, how might I go about making this work better?

Added two new sites to my Links page (aka #Blogroll):

- https://searchmysite.net/
- https://starbreaker.org/

The former is a niche search, focussing on the #indieweb, small web and digital gardens — i.e. non-commercial content, primarily personal and independent websites.

The latter is the personal website of @starbreaker, one of the very best recent discoveries. I love his writings, as it's common with people who are not afraid to tell things by their name.

Hello, #fediverse! - I'm new here and getting my #indieweb situation settled over at ciprianisbsmnt.space, so here's my #introduction:

I live in #Maine and work #remote in digital recruiting/education and have a LOT of special interests (like art, reading, #astrology, #occult, and #hiking!)

Here's a picture of my dog, #Tepe on Burnt Meadow Mountain yesterday. ⛰️ 🐾
