I posted something new last night on my blog, and it caused an issue with the RSS feed (audio embeds with bad HTML).

Someone noticed and reported it, I fixed it - and that has made my day.

Where have all the websites gone? – Chris Coyier

I know I sound like an old man when I go on and on about RSS, but really, it’s sitting right there and is apparently what a lot of people miss.

it's been a while since i've gushed about the 32-bit cafe's massive resources list for the personal web, so i'll take the opportunity now!

we often try to find where the needs are for the resources list, and i noticed lots of folks asking across mastodon about where the #web directories and listings went, so i asked our community to collaborate on a list, and we found the answer was a *lot*!

browsing the independent web is getting easier every day. it's so exciting to see how this side of the web continues to grow!

keep an eye on our resources list in case you need more for building your own #website and being an active participant in the personal web :)

Added some more #IndieWeb databases and small search engines to my resources page https://robertkingett.com/links/ #SmallWeb

"If you stopped cultivating your own website because you really liked #Twitter… did you really care about it that much?

If you care about the #indieweb growing, by all means write, by all means create, by all means curate. But most of all, just read. Or listen, or experience. Spend an afternoon clicking around, like everybody used to.

If 2024 truly is a #tippingpoint into a new world, then it can’t happen in a vacuum."

Update on my web thinking: went for a Zume.net account; good + reputable reviews, much more affordable than my previous host.

Haven’t had time to think about what to actually do with my new site. Wordpress again or something else? Leaning to the latter. Considering Publii + Netlify for a profile/portfolio, after a recent Creativerly post from @philipp.

Then…? Wiki/garden? Dedicate more time to my micro.blog? A photoblog?

New Blog Post!

Another blog post from Paul Frazee on the thinking behind Bluesky’s technical plumbing:

We ended up calling the AT Protocol a “federated” network because we couldn’t think of a more appropriate term, but it’s not really a kind of federation that anyone is familiar with. The peer-to-peer influence is too significant to neatly slot into that archetype. It also confuses with ActivityPub’s model of federation which is now popularly understood.

I’m following AT Protocol closely (and using it in Micro.blog!) and I still haven’t fully wrapped my head around all of this. More to learn.

Interesting take by Dave Winer (in audio, here’s the download link) about the sort of post-Twitter technical mess we might be in, specifically around ActivityPub and the complications of federation. I do worry about new standards being so difficult compared to the old social web.

Oh hey this is cool! I found an RSS feed that displays small YouTube channels and small web blog posts. Instant subscribe for me https://kagi.com/api/v1/smallweb/feed?yt #RSS #YouTube #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

In this post, I talk about why we need less objective journalism. https://robertkingett.com/posts/6437/ #Journalism #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

If you care about the indie web growing, by all means write, by all means create, by all means curate. But most of all, just read. Or listen, or experience. Spend an afternoon clicking around, like everybody used to. The more people who do that, the more everything else will slot into place without even having to think much about it.
