I wanted to add pingback support to WordPress pages so I could enable Webmentions on my new Guestbook. After a bit of searching, I extrapolated the correct functions.php snippet from a guide for a different point and added the functionality to pages without breaking my site.

hiya! first time shifting instances so wanted to introduce myself again - apologies to those who know me already!
i'm alexandra! i'm in my 30s, live in san francisco with my boyfriend, and work in tech. i'm a queer, neurodivergent lady from the south who cares too much about the internet. my interests include writing, painting, traveling, learning, anthropology, nature, experiencing new things, video games, interior design, tabletop games, and history (read more: https://xandra.cc).
i'm passionate about the independent/personal web and want more people to build websites, host their own web services, create more, and lessen their dependence on social media and an overall corporate web (read more: https://32bit.cafe).
it's nice to meet you!

So #indieweb.social's new "birdie" look is *infinitely* more pleasant when the shitty font is disabled in favour of my regulay sans-serif.
Still, I never liked the look&feel even when I was still on Twitter...
OTOH, the weird jumpy scrolling behaviour is still there along with weird jumping about in the left (nav) pane. Still disliking it intensely and hoping like hell it doesn't get forced on us.
I helgen träffade jag gamla och nya bekanta på Anarkistiska bokmässan och konspirerade kring ett möjligt Internet.
Jag hävdade högtravande att Internet var en skitstorm. Här försöker jag utveckla så gått jag förmår i en liten blogpost:

What a wild end for Apollo. The era of client APIs for ad-supported platforms is over. Developers should invest their time in open platforms where the business model is aligned with users' and developers' interests: Micro.blog (paid blog hosting) or the fediverse (often donation-supported).
Put your augmented reality headset to one side because I’m about to have a big moan about big tech and social media again. It’ll be fun, honest.
Here's this weeks addition of my linkblog In The Margins:
I wonder if the new workout API that Apple is coming up with will solve some #Indieweb problems of being able to automate exercise recording on our web sites? Some folks were spinning ideas about doing that, though we couldn't actually come up with anything definitive as far as I'm aware.
We need to totally overhaul company's offerings for different products. Way too many features; custom domains stand out to me, but I'm sure there are others, are listed under the "business" offerings for most. What about those geeks who use them for other things aside from a business? I'm one of them, I'm sure most of the #Indieweb community is, too. Not as helpful for nontechnical users, but for once, something does not apply to you.
The latest stats over the last six months from #Bridgely - a tool for #Indieweb sites publishing over to various social platforms.
"The other striking trend is the marked uptick in Mastodon account growth since Elon took over back in November. It’s more than doubled in the last 6 months, from 557 on Nov. 1 to 1125 yesterday! Exodus indeed."
