I listened to 7451 songs in 2024. Favorite song? Fingertips (Banjo) by They Might Be Giants

I downloaded and published my Instagram archive



With the death of the Instagram API and it coinciding with my move towards the indieweb, I decided to download my Instagram archive and host them on my own site.

Could the reindexing of our site be thanks to the buttons wall? I'll choose to believe it, and therefore, a big thank you to all the folks who kindly added an enkisoftware button to their websites! https://www.enkisoftware.com/about#links

We already have a proof-of-concept importer for Mastodon as a backup of your posts & connections.

I created a Twin Cities IndieWeb list on BlogFlock. Let me know if you have sites that should be added! I feel a desire to get an IndieWeb meetup going in the Twin Cities.

Has anyone been thinking/working on progressive enhancement solutions for integrating Fedi driven comments for static sites? I am working to upgrade my old #11ty blog with webmentions.io + brid.gy comments, but thinking about progressive builds, deeper server integration, and special purpose clients...

If you wanna see anything non-infosec or non-tech, my "regular" account boosts a ton of #art and #indieweb stuff 😁

I also wonder how/if I can get this "#wrapstodon" feature on this #mastohost instance? ( @mastohost )

It's official, I've just deployed my brand new personal website.

Mandatory blog post about it has been post!

Let me know what you think!

This month's #IndieWebCarnival is hosted by Zinzy with a theme of "belief": https://www.zinzy.website/2024/11/28/indieweb-carnival-december-2024-belief/

Join the jolly group of bloggers by writing your own and submitting it to this month's Carnival.

#IndieWeb

This is a summary curation of prior posts of mine on why post, what to post, and how to post, as well as some bits I wrote on the #IndieWeb wiki. This post assumes you already have a blog — if you don’t have one and wonder why you should, that’s a different blog post.

If you have a blog and ever feel stuck about why you should post, what to post next, or how to write your post, hopefully this post will help you get unstuck, and publish your post.


Why Post

There is a whole wiki page on the topic:
* https://indieweb.org/why_post — which could use some gardening

Here are a few reasons why to post:

* Wean yourself off social media. Post to your own site instead of social media. If you already post on social media, into someone else’s garage¹, then you already have reason enough to post. So post on your own site first, and optionally syndicate² to that silo, only if you have friends who still use it to read posts.
* Search everything you write. Do you post long comments or issues on GitHub? Do you post on public mailing lists? Post such things to your own site, so you can more easily search everything you’ve written on a topic. Then post a copy to those external destinations.
* All the reasons to own your data: https://indieweb.org/own_your_data


What to Post

* Post positive things promptly: https://tantek.com/2018/357/t3
  * … from that day first: https://tantek.com/2018/364/t1
  * … in time order: https://tantek.com/2018/364/t5
* Make and share lists. People like lists
* Post to learn in public, and pass on what you learn


How to Post

* Use a local text editor
* Capture first, edit & publish later: https://tantek.com/2023/365/t1/
* Do something positive (in-person), then post about it: https://tantek.com/2018/002/t1
* Single topic post
* Short and to the point. Edit and remove anything distracting from the main point.
* Quotable post title
* Summary opening paragraph
* Put tangents aside
* Quotable sentences and multi-sentence paragraphs
* Subheadings help cluster related paragraphs
* Use a footer for updates, terminology, previous posts, additional reading, and citations.
  * Move definitions, citations, etc. to the footer unless including them inline either provides little risk of distraction or significantly helps reading flow
  * Use footer sections: Previously, Post Glossary, References, Additional Reading
* Check your references


Each of these points could be its own blog post. There are many more whys, whats, and hows. This is a start.
* https://indieweb.org/why_post
* https://indieweb.org/what_to_post
* https://indieweb.org/how_to_post

Add your own to each, and help organize them.
