Reminder to run your websites through Chrome/ium Lighthouse to find low hanging fruit, especially with performance and accessibility. So many personal sites have unlabelled buttons, images without alt, over-sized images, and [Read me] links
For example, "Read more" links are commonly seen on article excerpts. You should use screenreader-only text to expand on it:
```
<a href>
Read more
<span class="sr-only">
of {{ article.title }}
</span>
</a>
```
@erinc makes sense, thanks for clarifying! I'm also interested to see where Threads is going with activitypub, we live in very interesting times. I hung out with @tantek.com this weekend at the #indieweb hackathon and he said he's got some longer notes coming from the meetings at FB.
Anyone know how to help with #Webmentions?
I have #Bridgy set up and it’s sending based on interactions on #Mastodon. However, nothing is being received by Webmention.io.
I’m lost at what to do next for https://justincox.com/. Any suggestions?
An introduction to indie web
Wanted to have a personal website but couldn’t afford hosting and domain? Never knew how to use basic HTML and CSS?
I compiled a bunch of links that should help you start making your own personal house. Abandon all the linktrees, carrds and social media and hop on the actual web:
Was great to meet everyone at IndieWebCamp San Diego this weekend! Had some productive conversations and learned a lot about what other people are doing. I hope we can meet again soon.
Been having fun tweaking my HTML site on Neocities. Thinking I'll migrate Jason Journals there away from WordPress in 2024.
Just about purged almost all JS from the site, so just HTML and CSS.

It took all day to customize the Ghost theme, but I’m happy to say my website finally passed all the #IndieWeb checks!
Next up (some other day), connecting webmentions to the Fediverse.

Today I learned that Google Docs can do image to text of handwriting: https://artlung.com/blog/2023/12/17/handwriting-to-my-website/ #indieweb - thanks @chrisaldrich !
I wonder what’s my instances plan for federation regarding Threads.
I have to say https://home.omg.lol/ is an example of a site that gives me hope for the future of the web.
