Using my Webmention plugin, I can now send mentions from both posts and comments.
If I reply to a note of mine using a reply *post* (or note), it’ll send a mention to that note, and create a comment.
If I then reply to that comment using a reply *comment*, it’ll send a mention to the reply *post* (and create a comment *there*).
#Webmention inception.
The idea is obviously not to make things more complicated, but to be able to have complete threads in one place.
I like how Paul has recreated his own version of This Is My Jam and I really like how he’s done it with an HTML web component.
I use #Notion as my headless CMS for my blog. One issue I ran into was that Notion only supports three levels of headings and sometimes I need more.
I documented a workaround that uses a custom renderer with notion-render and a trick of adding a -> at the start of h3 to make it a h4 in the final render.

For those in the #IndieWeb space that want someone to host your static website for you, I've got 2 options.

For me in particular, it gets exciting when it has something to do with the #IndieWeb and taking back control of your own data.
I’m not familiar with #Python at the moment, but I know most of the concepts of ...

Even the simplest possible static site requires site structure (organizing the files into a folder hierarchy) and a server that can respond to web requests with those files. A non-trivial site generally also requires some way to reuse HTML across pages. Where is all that represented in the first diagram?
My site has morphed over time. Used to self-host Wordpress and now 11ty. I'm updating again to add a side section for a digital garden. I haven't exactly figured out how I'm going to use but it will be good to have a spot where I can put things that aren't "blog-y" and it has been a fun little New Year project. Plus, all the kids are building Digital Gardens these days 😎 #indieweb #digitalgarden

The Foundation's Managing Director, @josh, recently completed a migration from managed Matrix with EMS to self-hosting using the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy project. It was a tricky process, so we're sharing the details!
Whether or not you're migrating homeservers, or setting up a fresh homeserver, the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy project greatly simplifies getting started with self-hosting.

I have added some XSLT & CSS to my blog RSS feed so as not to frighten away non-techie users who stumble upon it (and also to encourage them to get an RSS Reader):
