There are several reasons.</p>\n<p>IndieAuth works by allowing me to use my website URL as the identity for authentication and authorization on websites that support it. Here's a simplified overview of how it operates:</p>\n<ol><li><strong>User Identification</strong>: When I want to log in to a website, I enter my website URL, `https://islandinthenet.com/`.</li>\n<li><strong>Discovery of Authorization Endpoint</strong>: The website connects to my WordPress websites and looks for an <code>authorization endpoint</code>. This endpoint is configured in the HTML or HTTP headers of my WordPress website.</li>\n<li><strong>Authentication Request</strong>: The website redirects me to their discovered authorisation endpoint with a request to authenticate.</li>\n<li><strong>User Authorization</strong>: At the authorization endpoint, I prove ownership of my URL, usually by logging in to the service that hosts the endpoint.</li>\n<li><strong>Redirection and Token Verification</strong>: After successful authentication, the authorization endpoint redirects me back to the original website with an authentication token.</li>\n<li><strong>Confirmation</strong>: The original website verifies the token with the authorization endpoint to confirm my identity and then grants access.</li>\n</ol><p>But I rarely come across websites that use IndieAuth. The only website that I know supports IndieAuth is the <a href=\"https://indieweb.org/\">IndieWeb Wiki</a>.</p>\n<p>Post Kinds is a concept within the IndieWeb community that categorises various types of content a person might want to publish on their website. These types, or \"kinds,\" include articles, notes (similar to toots), photos, videos, replies, likes, reposts, and more. The Post Kinds WordPress Plugin adds support to the Classic Editor to implement this concept by enabling me to classify my website content into these different kinds.</p>\n<p>But except for \"replies\" the Post Kinds plug-in isn\u2019t useful to me and I rarely.

Webmention is a simple, standardized protocol for my website to notify another when it links to it. For example, some post something on their website. I write a response on my website and include a link to their post. My website sends a Webmention to their site, informing their website of the link. Their site verifies the Webmention by checking my post to confirm it indeed links to their post. Once verified, their site can display my response as a comment, like, share, etc., depending on the context.</p>\n<p>Syndication Links are a way to indicate that a piece of content published on my site is also available via a link on another site. For example, if I write a blog post on my website and also share it on Twitter, I can use a syndication link on my blog post to point to Twitter.</p>\n<p>Webmention and Syndication Links work together to create a more interconnected and rich web of content. Let\u2019s say someone publishes a post on their website and shares it on Twitter, adding a syndication link on their original post pointing to the tweet. I see the tweet, write a response on my website, and my website sends a webmention to the original post. The originating website receives the webmention, verifies it, and then shows my response as a comment. The syndication link to the tweet is also displayed.</p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s very cool.
