Oi. Listen up!

#indieweb #blog carnival is looking for potential hosts for the upcoming months of Feb, Mar, Apr, etc.

It's not hard, but not the easiest gig in the world either. As host, you would have to post 3 separate times in the course of the month.

Please read the following for more details:

https://indieweb.org/indieweb-carnival

I'd be more than happy to answer questions, reserve your month for you, and more.

Thank you for your time and interest!

Zaujímavá úvaha o tom, prečo je vlastný blog lepší ako účet na Fediverse. Autor kritizuje skutočnosť, že aj keď sú sociálne aplikácie vo Fediverse decentralizované, v skutočnosti kopírujú väčšinu negatívnych vlastností tradičných centralizovaných sociálnych médií ako skratkovitosť a banalizáciu komunikácie. Jediný dôvod, prečo ľudia čítajú obsah na sociálnych médiách je ten, že tieto ponúkajú nekonečný prúd informačného šumu vhodný na zabíjanie času. Sociálne médiá v skutočnosti nie sú sociálne, naopak ešte viac izolujú ľudí od seba navzájom. Autor odporúča ako skutočne decentralizované riešenie tvorbu vlastného webu.

We recorded a new YouTube promo for our upcoming Backdrop CMS training.

It's a six hour training that costs $35 and will take place via Zoom on Jan 23 and 24 (next week).

I haven't tried this yet but it seems like a cool idea (I won't have time to try for awhile...).

"If you browse a lot of #smallweb #indieweb blogs and websites, you should add the StreetPass extenstion to your web browser. It finds #fediverse accounts associated with the blogs you read, and allows you to view the accounts and follow them if you want.

How does it work?

Ways to improve discovery on the IndieWeb

The IndieWeb is slowly moving from innovation to rely adopter so it is time to start thinking about content discovery. After all, what’s the point of a game for two people if you are the only one at the table?

One of the ways IndieWeb can become easier to use is to become easier to discover new users and content.

The example of the […]

Curation is the last best hope of intelligent discourse. — Joan Westenberg

The return of RSS and POSSE points to a revival of the personal website ecosystem that thrived in the early blog era. Writers, researchers, technologists and more are relaunching their independent homepages, complete with feeds, as both a public notebook and a channel for sharing insights. The personal website is the ultimate sovereign territory online, enabling creators to share content on their own terms.

I feel like Joan Westenberg has come up with the perfect tag line for personal websites (emphasis mine):

By passing high-quality, human-centric content through their own lens of discernment before syndicating it to social networks, these curators create islands of sanity amidst oceans of machine-generated content of questionable provenance.

I've officially been blogging for 1 whole year! 🥳 365 days & 20 blog posts! Lessgo! I published my newest one today, but I'm just enjoying looking at all their cards right now.

I remember when it was all empty (it came with my site's template) and thinking "I'm never gonna use that" Lol. I started thanks to #lain & #bringbackblogging and I keep going thanks to #smallweb & #indieweb

It's hard not to. When there's so much to be inspired from. Here's to another year! 🍾

Anyone have a tool/service to receive SMS messages into a public RSS feed? Part of my eternal quest to liberate important info that gov. agencies see fit to lock up in proprietary or hard-to-access formats. #indieweb #opendata #localnews

Let’s talk about making IndieWeb weirder and easier

I’ve been a huge fan of IndieWeb since I stumbled upon it one fateful day. While the specifics of how I found it are lost in the annals of history, my willingness to use it in every project has never abated. Well, the bits I understand at any rate.

This is why I bring up the topic of making IndieWeb ideas into weird and easier-to-use […]

Recently I've been reminded of how much fun the Internet can be. Thanks to all of you creating content, promoting content, and enabling others to create their content. This community is truly amazing.

This whole #indieweb thing is giving me some real warm fuzzy early 2000s XHTML nostalgia vibes

Talking about making IndieWeb easier

I’d like to point you to a blog post that took three days to write. (My average post takes under an hour).

This post in question is called “Let’s talk about making IndieWeb weirder and easier“. It is a reply to some other posts that say we need more IndieWeb tools that are easy to use not just WordPress.

We do. I dive deep into how we might make that happen. I had to stop after I passed 7,100 words. There’s more to say.

For now, just dip into the post and see if anything goes ping for you.

Among this weekend's hobby projects was figuring out some bare-bones support for Webmentions on a Quarto blog. While Quarto comes with support for a few comments methods, adding Webmention support lets Quarto blogs interoperate with the broader indieweb! Fortunately, it's not too complex to add this support yourself.
