Removed custom shortlinks from my likes and listens and now only generate them for notes, articles, and pages.

And got rid of a whole lot of broken links.

Should be done with this today.

🤘 New episode of Changelog & Friends!

@jerod goes one-on-one with our old friend @searls!

We talk build vs buy decisions, dependency selection & how Justin has implemented POSSE (Post On Site Syndicate Elsewhere) in response to the stratification of social networks.

"Redesigning your personal website is one of life’s great pleasures." says @chriscoyier in the newest People & Blogs interview.

I so agree. It's fun to have your own space where you make all the decisions and don't have to only do things for the bottom line.

Good news from Bluesky that a public web interface is coming this month. They’ve had a ā€œstagingā€ web app, but it required signing in. Also:

As a reminder, Bluesky is a public social network, so your posts, likes, etc. have always been publicly accessible through the API. We designed Bluesky with the openness of the internet in mind, and you can think of your profile as a blog on the internet.

In the future, it will be easier to have actual blogs that seamlessly act as ActivityPub and AT Protocol profiles. We’re halfway there with Micro.blog already.

BUILDING OUR OWN NETWORKS.
New workshop klaxon: I'll be in #Bristol celebrating #TransPride on the 25th, and running a workshop on DIY radio, #indieweb and alternative #networks.

Watch this space for an online zine that will be published afterwards. šŸ“» šŸ›°ļø 🌐 🌷

Uncertain future for Tumblr

I'm going through Broken Pencil (a Canadian #magazine about #zines and weird print) and they recc'd Prehistoric Times, an indie magazine about #dinosaurs. The website looks like something out of the 90s and a year subscription is $40USD. I'm so tempted. #zine #dinosaur #smolweb #indieweb

@amin Oh good god my workflows are very opinionated and specific to what I do šŸ˜‚ A lot of it also relies less on the existence of a generator and more of abusing the way it works. But here’s the main things I’m trying to get working/have already and love.

- Nunjucks and Markdown Templating Support
- Some kind of decent support for getting a post from iOS pushed to whatever repo stores the site and triggers a build
- Ability for multiple post types (ex. Posts as one category and notes as another)
- API connections to other services to grab extra metadata without custom functions (ex. Adding a book ISBN to the metadata and being able to pull whatever expected data for the book into the post itself)

My reqs./wishes are a bit odd and eventually I’ll build my own system (#IndieWeb FTW) but I have literally zero free time to work on it. Maybe over the summer but that’s also very much up in the air (waiting on internships but I won’t hear about the one that I’m really banking on until like March).

For anyone making use of my RSS feeds, I made some changes to simplify the template while making some content formatting changes (e.g. inlining the feature image at the start of longer articles/reviews). I’ve also limited the main feed to 25 posts instead of 50, which seemed excessive. While I tested with an offline reader, I can’t guarantee things won’t break, so if they do, please let me know!

Plugin Inventory, 2023

All the plugins I’m running with WordPress (it’s a lot), and the functionality I get.

Yesterday I started a page that hosts my drawings or renders I made for this year’s Huevember and Meowvember challenges!

This page has commentary for each piece as I've been trying some different things. I still have catching up to do with sketches I started but haven't finished yet for days that now passed but I'm still going forward.

There’s about $5000 of budget ready for someone to help me build ActivityPub deeply into Known such that it can interoperate with Mastodon users. Email me at ben@benwerd.com if you’re interested.

Two weeks ago @matthiasott asked people to share the stories behind their personal blog's domains.

After @michelle and @flamed blogged about their domain choices, I decided to join the discussion in blogosphere!
