šŸ—’ļø An ā€˜Ideas’ page.

I’ve discovered another new thing in my adventures across the federated web: the ā€˜Ideas’ page.

The "works" page has been updated to the latest contents.

I have been working on improving my personal website little by little, but there are still many things to be done.
Well, I really don't have enough time.

Had a super minor but personally satisfying moment today with my website. I realized that I've written enough since rebooting my blog in January that I felt the need to pin the intro to the top of the index:

The index is still a bit hidden for now while my home page acts as a design portfolio and that's ok, it's intentional. Maybe that'll change later this year, no rush. Let's see where the garden grows and needs trimming, repotting, etc.

In a possible lifetime first, I discover a singular instance where Past Me was not, in fact, a dick.

Amazing products go unsold when no one sticks around for the presentation.

Your ability to survive on your services disappears when you promote yourself with a blank page.

Cached pages for your (WordPress) website aren’t a technical matter – they are a matter of survival.

Length of time visitors are kept
waiting in the lobby. Uncached (Blue). Cached (Green)

In my search to meet my own personal expectations for my desired user experience for ā€˜Autonomy & Agency v4.1.0’ – I auditioned, tested, and tested again multiple caching strategies and WordPress plugins.

I started with the big hitters of the caching plugin world – my frustration was great. Name recognition soared while ability to perform struggled to keep up.

With Developer Console open, I ran each ā€˜solution candidate’ through multiple testing variations and all I unearthed was disappointment and on a few occasions – even frustration.

The claim of ability to do a thing is not synonymous with the doing of the thing.

I believe if we were all afforded the time and capacity to look more closely at matters of performance and outcome across a great many arenas beyond simple page caching – we would find leading solutions aren’t often solutions at all.

I added a directory section to my website for links to other people's sites as well as handy resources and other fun things on the internet that I had bookmarked.

If we're mutuals on here and I somehow missed your site, get in touch with me if you want it added to the directory. I prefer non-social media/non-commercial links on this list; check out Neocities if you want to make a free DIY website, or consider starting a blog!

I worked on adding tags to the Fern River Club site last night, and included some provisional tags on the season 1 scenes. I like the idea of tags highlighting sexy themes that link the scenes together differently than people and places. ā€œSelf loveā€, for example, and ā€œsocial nudityā€.

What kinds of tags do you like to see on erotic stories? What subtleties feel exciting to highlight?

Good idea here from Ben Werdmuller for a Fediverse VIP service:

Fediverse VIP is a managed service that allows any brand to create individual fediverse profiles for its employees and shared ones for its publications, on its own domain, using its own brand styles, with abuse prevention and individual safety features, and with full analytics reporting.

Micro.blog Teams could fill part of this need, with multiple users each with their own subdomain or posts on a group blog. With our pricing changes, we’ve sort of buried Teams, but probably should do more to promote it.

All the (active) sites using Webmention that I found so far [March 2024]

Readers with long memories will remember my post ā€œAll the (active) sites using Webmention that I find (sic) so farā€ – the May 2022 edition and then the June 2022 edition. This is that list but updated for March 2024 and put in some sort of logical order in a post with a grammatically improved title.

The fediverse is really happening

Cornerstones laid! The site now has an About page, a Contact page, and a /now page. And it was so much fun and so easy to do! A big thanks to @marsedit on making hard things easy.

Small blog post about my switch away from #WordPress ...

New site ... again ...

Nope, only the posts I manually trigger. I think if you wanted to post to this Mastodon account, you would use Bridgy Classic, which has an interactive form: you put in the URL of your post, it fetches the microformats from your post, then it cross-posts (not federates) the post. Bridgy Fed is actual federation, where my website is my AP identity — I don't have a Mastodon account.

It's definitely a bit more manual of a process and if you enjoy the Mastodon app experience now, it might be a downgrade in that regard. Happy to talk about it more in indieweb dev channel.
