Today marks the 78th blog post (including Syntax Error newsletters) that I've published this year.

I still have bunch written and waiting to be published but won't quite hit 100 post milestone this year. Maybe next year?

I'll write about the mechanics soon, but I just wanted to share that I configured my website to advertise and collect webmentions.

Reactions appear on my posts with an async process. When I work on the site I can run a script that gathers the latest reactions from webmention.io and statically generates the content for each post.

#webmention #indieWeb

Hello #IndieWeb enthusiasts. I’m holding an unofficial Homebrew Website Club at the Lord Nelson Inn near Brighton station tomorrow evening. I’ll be there around 17:30, wrapping up around 20:00. #ffconf folk most welcome!

I’ll post more information when I’ve found a spot, but if you look for a balding dude with a beard and a dubious waxed moustache the odds are good that you’ll find me.

It appears my WebMentions are not working? I tried submitting a few of my posts to the #IndieWeb news site, but the theme I am using doesn't have all those fancy H article formats and stuff. The IndieWeb themes I looked at for #WordPress weren't accessibility ready, so does anyone have any thoughts on how can I make my blog more indieweb compatible without changing themes? I already have the IndieWeb plugin installed, as well as the syndication and WebMention plugin. Thoughts? #Accessibility

#webMentions work like this; you link to someone else's url, it sends a ping to that url's /webmention endpoint, then that site checks to make sure that your site has a link to it.

What stops you from removing said link after the verification has been approved by the mentioned site?

What if I write a blog post titled "This is the best blog on the Internet" and automatically #webmention every single site that accept webmentions, one at a time, replacing the mentioned url each time?

Somewhat meta, but this month's #IndieWeb carnival is on the subject of Community and Belonging, which might be of interest to other people here.

Now that the ActivityPub plugin for Wordpress is mature I'm going to attempt to use only my Wordpress based site as my gateway to the Fediverse. The Friends plugin should make this feasible. I'm also hoping to eventually use the Indiepass appĀ  for reading/writing. Don't quite have the reading part sorted out yet tho. I may follow you again from my social.vaughnhannon.com domain. Don't be alarmed. #fediverse #wordpress #activitypub #indiepass #indieweb

Anyone know good ways to search or discover things on the #SmallWeb or #indieweb ?

I suppose one definition is a search engine that excludes big tech siloed sites, spamblogs and listicles etc

So far I found that #Kagi is able to search in smallweb mode, though it is a paid service and somewhat limited.

Need help finding or piecing together a software that does a thing.

Dadboss informed me of something our company used to use way back, Yahoo Groups, as an email newsgroup.

Apparently, our members were really into it because they didn’t have to go anywhere or log in to anything.

They received an email and simply hit reply and it added their response.

He wants something like that crossed with Substack.

Sounds like maybe something #Indieweb protocol can do?

I don’t know; I’m not a developer, but I’m pretty good at piecing things together out of existing technology.

And maybe it already exists!

If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

New post: ā€œMy First ā€˜Fediversaryā€™ā€

https://blog.kizu.dev/first-fediversary/

Technically, IĀ tried Mastodon for the first time onĀ April 06, 2017, and tried again aĀ few times over the next few years, but itĀ did not stick with meĀ atĀ the time.

ItĀ was rather lonely toĀ not have the people IĀ enjoyed following for years around.

That did change when @mia opened our instance, and myĀ presence here isĀ what I’m celebrating today.

#Fediversary #IndieWeb

w/e 2023-11-05 (Phil Gyford’s website)

On the one hand I still really enjoy writing code and making something work and look good (ish) and put it online where anyone in the world can see it. It’s still like magic. And is still some kind of personal affirmation, a way of saying ā€œhere I am!ā€, of enjoying that it’s noticed by someone, somewhere.

True.

On the other hand, the maintenance. It’s not like this is new to me, keeping things going for years, decades. And I try to make things as easy as possible – keep things up to date, make things in similar ways, stick to reliable and boring technologies, don’t start too many things, etc. But, especially when several things aren’t quite working right, it’s such a weight.

Also true.

Just a quick question to get to know the community: Why did you join #indieweb?
I am a german masters student in media literacy and when I was lookind for instances this one really seemed to align with my interests (Humane Tech, Digital Wellbeing, Values in Design).

I want to add some per-page Javascript to my Eleventy blog. What strategies should I look at for this? I'd prefer to keep the JS in a separate JS file instead of inlining it into my markdown template with bundle shortcodes.
