I just finished my small contribution to this months #indieweb carnival with the great topic "Community and belonging" chosen by @alexture: https://daniel.mowitz.rocks/longform/community/bases/

I have started a Dutch fork of Kagi's Small Web Initiative.

I still need to bootstrap the feed list. If you have a personal blog in Dutch, feel free to add it here: https://github.com/jd7h/smallweb-nl/edit/sw-dutch/smallweb-nl.txt

If you want to contribute in other ways, let me know!

Where do people host flat-file websites nowadays?

It need to support a lot of media files (it's an archive for a discontinued podcast), and multiple domains/websites on a single host would be ideal. I don't care about one-click wordpress or email or anything else.

What do you recommend and why?

Thanks to this lovely website https://briefs.video, I accidentally learned that #webmention rocks! https://webmention.rocks #indieweb #w3c

2.5 years ago I created some badges for my own blog because other platforms had them but I didn't get any cause I was publishing on my own.

I ended up hiding them after 6 months or so but it was a fun experiment and some of the badges turned out quite cool.

I just retroactively sent webmentions for all stories in the 225 issues of Arne's Weekly.
88 were successful, 38 failed. #indieWeb

An underrated benefit of keeping links and resources on my website is I don't have to go to bookmarks to find websites I like because it's all in 1 page https://robertkingett.com/links/ #IndieWeb

@hankg @danyork I moved to Mastodon a year ago and wanted to read a tweet yesterday. I had a negative feeling when Xitter opened in my browser, as if my smartphone was about to explode ... that's how negative my attitude towards the platform has become, even though I still have my deactivated account.

Last weekend, I sent out Issue 3 of #OwnYourWeb. 🥳

This time, it was all about the question: (how) does a personal website change your life?

Plus links to talks, podcasts, and posts by @sophie, @paulrobertlloyd, @adactio, @fonts, Scott Tolinski, and Wes Bos.

Since search seems to suck so much these days—thanks seo!—I'd really prefer to have a personal search engine that just returns results from a list I've given it of my friends' websites and social media accounts.

I want to see if any of the my friends have been to [place], or read [book], or tried out [gear] so I can ask them personally what they thought about it.

Anything exist like that?

I have too many fediverse accounts and need to settle on one.

Should I stick with this server, another one, or go back to self-hosting?

My website is ActivityPub-enabled and wondering if that's the way to go?

Halp, please? 🙃

@matthiasott my website is made essentially using Hugo. However, it is wrapped around with my custom CMS (https://github.com/hacdias/eagle) for any dynamic needs (Webmentions, Micropub, search, etc).

I have used Hugo since 2015 and Eagle since the end of 2019, when I discovered the #indieweb.

Considering a URL shortener for my site. Likely something self-hosted. It's been a while since I thought about this. Any recommendations?

Not sure how much I care about analytics. Just something I can uses to expose links in print, presentations, email etc. Maybe I do care about analytics idk?

Also, happy Thanksgiving and all that. I hope it's pleasant.

For others looking for my RSS feed, everything will now go to my website. I tried to add some IndieWeb stuff to it, but it messed up my theme, but I like my theme and don't wanna change it just to make IndieWeb stuff easier, so RSS it is! https://robertkingett.com/feed/ #RSS #IndieWeb

Tis the season for blog posts! Here's another one, with my review on using Obsidian for note taking & research projects.
