Repo to come after I polish it

I've been trying to work out how to move my #wordpress blog over to either #indieweb or #movabletype and... it looks really complicated.

Would it be easier to shift all my artisinal writing to
#medium or is there someone who can help this quasi-luddite with all the technical details?

The building continues. You all have provided some outstanding examples of what a homepage can become!

Are we about to hit ANOTHER stretch goal? I’ll say it again: Our friends at @Iconfactory are less than $2,000 from reaching their SECOND stretch goal in the final hours of their #kickstarter! Boost and share and let’s push them over the line today to get the next great #indiedev app built!

My personal website and blog is my place on the Internet, where I get to write what and how I want. Perhaps you should have one too?

Reminder that I write about a lot of stuff, blindness, life stuff, my author news. I never stick to 1 topic so if you wanna follow, my RSS feed is https://robertkingett.com/feed/ #RSS #Blog #IndieWeb

Found 2 fantastic #RSS tools.

Firstly, an RSS search engine. Quite literally. It finds blogs and stuff with RSS feeds and is amazing for finding new #IndieWeb blogs to try https://feedle.world/

The second is a tool that displays RSS feeds that your Mastodon/Fediverse network share! https://rss-is-dead.lol/
