I'm planning to use #Ghost to host my own MicroBlog. What advice would you give me? My current website runs on #Hugo, and it’s too customized for me to want to migrate the whole thing to another software.

djp listened to There's A Marmot On My Doorstep/Leeds by furny on More Mature Escapades In Hi-Fi #librefm #indieweb #music #shareopenly https://libre.fm/user/djp/scrobble/1729799360

I’ve noticed a few people recently refer to their top-level pages as “slash pages”.
Honestly my first reaction was “Aren’t those just ‘pages’?”, but I’ve come to find the term kinda fun.


But when people started adding a /slashes slash page, I thought “Isn’t that a sitemap?”.
XML sitemaps are common to aid in search engine indexing, but there are lots of documented examples of human readable sitemaps as well.
Apparently others think of them as “index pages”.


The fun thing about websites is that people can use whatever URLs they want.
You could even translate those pages into your primary language.
But I’m going to advocate my preference to stick with the traditional /sitemap path


So I went ahead and implemented my human readable /sitemap page.
I limited it to the top-level pages but added an indicator that there are sub-pages.
I also still have my /sitemap.xml file but that’s just for the bots.

🔖 Bookmarked Intentional web (https://prealpinux.com/2024/10/23/intentional-web.html)

Prealpinux discusses the concept of an "intentional web," inspired by recent discussion about the social web. I agree with the characteristics, as they’re often brought up and define “our web” but I’ve decided I’m sticking to “the web”…

Got a late night drop for everyone, I'm officially starting my own blog called "The Digital Renaissance” and it will basically just be a place for me to put my thoughts and such that don't really fit in with what I usually write for AllThingsTech

There aren't any articles yet, the site's not finished being customized (It's not actually working 100% on the admin side) but it's up and I will be fleshing it out further over the next few days

IndieWeb and me?

This post « IndieWeb and me » is an answer to https://openmentions.com/news/question-of-the-week/how-do-you-personally-indieweb/ - found via my Mastodon timeline:
Started blogging in 2008, when webrings were important. Moved to social networks (mainly Google+) and came back to my own blogs, self-hosted, around 2017. Both are now fedified (via ActivityPub) and POSSE’d too. Webmentions are important, so both […]

Just listened to The Perfect Kiss by New Order on Low-life [Collector's Edition] Disc 1 #librefm #indieweb #music #shareopenly

https://libre.fm/user/mattl/scrobble/1729806753

While I was listening, I updated the code that generates these scrobble boxes. Some better markup, a more traditional and human readable way to show the date, h-entry and microformats support.

Coming soon: being able to delete your own scrobbles.

A million times this:

My incredibly poor attempt at summarizing: 1. There is no “the way,” and 2. Micro.blog (the service) *exists*

Another day diagnosing CORS policy issues, another day I'm genuinely impressed that the internet works at all

Honestly I think author attributions on Mastodon are my favorite new tech feature to drop this month
#technology #socialmedia #openweb #indieweb #news

Great documentation is hard to come by. One feature that I truly miss is the inclusion of an index in README files.

However, as the documentation grows, manually maintaining this index gets more time-consuming and error-prone. To avoid hand-hacking, you can automate this process using the paste command in your bash scripts.

Here's an example of how to do that and the final result:

Let’s talk about IndieWeb

A few months ago Marty McGuire posted Has the IndieWeb become discourse again? The post talks about the hate IndieWeb sometimes gets because people see it as prescriptive rather than descriptive. In other words, IndieWeb has a PR problem.

IndieWeb is mostly a set of experiments. Sometimes they work with corporate stuff but if they do, the corporations are quick to block that sort of open nonsense because power-hungry executives.

Marty makes the point that there is no “one way” to IndieWeb, there is only your way to IndieWeb.

This is nice timing because Open Mentions question of the week this week is How do you (personally) IndieWeb?

On isBrill, we generally IndieWeb with brill rolls (aka blog rolls), WebMention, shrines, and ActivityPub. I’d go so far as to say isBrill does not make a lick of sense without being somewhat IndieWeb. After all, it is mostly a collection of shrines, single-page websites, and the odd blog.

How do you IndieWeb?
