Trying the Old Reader, and while not as clean as Miniflux, to me, it was very accessible and syncing to Lire was a breeze, apart from a few unlabeled buttons. I hope it sticks around for a while even if I detest the social features in it. Now who can recommend some audiobook blogs to follow besides the Libro FM Blog, Audible blog, and Lovely Audiobooks since I already have those. #IndieWeb #SmallWeb #RSS

Anyone know of a fedi or at least free-ish alternative to SoundCloud? I like posting my stuff for archival and for whatever folks might enjoy listening to my brand of self indulgent improv, but I just have no desire to engage with that site anymore. What are the cool Indieweb kids using these days?
Hereās how I setup my blogroll to include all the things I follow on the web: https://distinctivequality.com/blog/following-page/ #indieweb #webdev #webdesign
Big changes as Casa De ODonnell last week.
I'm hosting my OPML file on Github, but is there a way I could kind of embed those URLs in a nicely, hyperlinked, ordered list on my forked #Wordpress website?
I'd like to embed my #Blogroll, so when I update my OPML file on Github it just automatically changes everywhere that it's embedded, so that I get a nice list of blogs and feeds I am subscribed to, like the one below.
New blog post: My favourite articles of 2023
https://blog.rubenwardy.com/2024/01/28/interesting-reads-2023/
I started to create a new #HTML5 and #CSS4 boilerplate, mainly for my personal use. I'm aiming for the following:
1. #A11y / #Accessibility support / #ARIA
Often forgotten. This time, it's deeply personal, it's now a must for me.
2. Avoid #IconFonts, use #SVG instead.
Same as the first item, but deserves to be mentioned separately.
3. #Microformats support
For #IndieWeb, #Webmention, #Fediverse, and related support.
4. Use the ārelā attribute where appropriate
Same as those in the previous items.
5. Styling using style classes only. Not microformats classes, as those can be reused for other purposes.
I used to, and I also noticed others doing the same, use microformats classes for styling. And then just override it if the same microformat class is reused elsewhere. Makes everything confusing; and hard to track, especially if you're using someone else's theme/template/skin.
6. Avoid using advance CSS selectors as much as possible; without resorting to multiple styling classes.
Multiple classes, as well as, advance CSS selectors, can and do slow down rendering. It's easy to fall into this trap because it makes things easier. I'm guilty of it.
7. Drop deprecated stuff; and only use future-proof ones.
Like backwards compatibility with anything IE.
Also, many CSS resets are actually no longer needed.
8. Less JavaScript as possible.
If something can be done without scripts, use that method. Everything else is optional. The site should work with or without scripts.
Remember, we're creating a boilerplate that we can reuse. We build on top of it.
9. As semantic as possible.
For example, use āarticleā, āmainā, ānavā, āasideā, āsectionā, where applicable, instead of ādivā with a āroleā and/or āid/classā.
We requested for those when HTML5 was being developed, but only few actually use it (especially blog templates).
10. BEM methodology
---
I hope those are everything worth applying in this journey.
Some notes:
* For #SchemaOrg, I prefer #JSON than embedding it in the HTML code through classes or itemprop.
* I understand there are a few with some of the goals I listed already implemented, but I prefer to learn along the way, not āhow to useā this and that.

probably some of you already knew me under the old handle starting with M and ending with N. if not, allow yourself to give me a carte blanche and start anew.
call me whatever is on my display name. I do art (love character design, often experiment with artstyles), I maintain a personal website @ lalafell.party, also I am the creator of Neorat emoji set and the PICMO emotes.
my commissions are always open, just DM me, and don't be afraid to ask for a discount if needed. I'm flexible.
I'm queer as in "i don't owe you telling you my labels", I'm disabled as in "fuck medicalists".
at the time of writing, a NEET.
I own a Wii and 3DS, so feel free to message me if you look for some gaming.
treat this post as an AMA. will not bite unless you're rancid or concern trolling.

Recent post thing was, We need less objective journalism so consider adding my feed? https://robertkingett.com #IndieWeb #SmallWeb #RSS
this post @capjamesg wrote is almost plucked right out of my brain; been having these thoughts for a while, and i'm so glad to share it. thank you for writing it, james!
"To have a personal website is, presently, an act of rebellion. It is a statement. You are saying: I want to define my experience on the web. I'll let you in on an open secret: Big tech companies aren't the only ones who get to decide how we share ideas on the web. The web is yours. You can put up a website where you share whatever it is that you want to share with others."

Redoing my #introduction again since it's now been a quarter of a year since I first joined Mastodon:
Hello! š I'm an #autistic Gen Z-er born in the mid-2000s, and I go by the name "Quinn" (with he/him pronouns) on most Internet platforms. I'm a fan of #Indieweb, #SmallWeb, #RSS, #NNTP, and the #Fediverse! š
The only two social media platforms I currently use are Mastodon and YouTube. I haven't really dabbled with any other social medias at this point.
My website is https://quinn9282.neocities.org!
