First Blog post is up on the site, talking about the tools I use to create the site.

I made sure to assign blame to certain folks, granted they hold only 0.01% of it, the rest is on me. This as good as those sysadmin wings coming in @jimsalter

This "remote text" shortcode in Tabi is pretty cool. Basically I can embed any text, from my repo, or even over http, and render it into my markdown file before my site is being built.

I'm using it for the code snippets on this page: https://nizzlay.com/blog/changes-2025-01-23/

Which now means that if I updated the code, my article would update automatically as well, never needing to manually keep it up to date. πŸ₯³

Let's go on with the roundup of my #tinyLibreTools of the past year. MyFFFonts is a local-first, browser-based webfonts manager. Dedicated to quickly enabling the testing of webfonts you own/downloaded, it has evolved into a font gallery that manages uploading and downloading of fonts packs + stylesheet, ready to be tried out in your #indieweb pages. The name stands for My Formidable Free Fonts, and is a solemn declaration of my immense gratitude for all the wonderful free font creators out there. Thanks. A. Lot. The code is here: https://codeberg.org/julienbidoret/myfffonts, the demo there: https://myfffonts.accentgrave.net/

I'd love to hear from folks who have been thinking about making a website for themselves and finding existing tools and tutorials less approachable.

What kind of websites are you interested in making? What tools have you tried? What didn't work for you?

Molly White has a great writeup (www.citationneeded.news/posse/) of the POSSE (publish on your own site, syndicate elsewhere) model here, and I'm planning to do more stuff like this in the weeks to come

POSSE: Reclaiming social media...

If you follow my blog feed, it hasn't changed β€” I just added additional ones. I also cleaned up the inclusion of the "reply by email" link β€” now I can have that on the full-text RSS feed, and the "share" and "like" buttons on the site only.

This is a useful step in making it so I can use my site instead of social media β€” now I can POSSE shorter notes, people can follow what they want, and I don't have to worry about "spamming" the blog feed

I finally figured out how to manually generate RSS feeds so I can have separate ones for different kinds of posts!

I had two friends contact me about joining Mastodon today. Coincidence? I think not! Social media is changing

I have all the RSS feeds listed here (https://reillyspitzfaden.com/feeds/), or you can follow all posts at this link: https://reillyspitzfaden.com/feed.xml

A longstanding inconvenience posting on my site has been selecting myself as the Author for each post. Now the logged-in user’s profile (me) is the default when creating a new post.
