Curate Your Internet Experience
Did you know that you do not have to rely on an algorithm written by someone else to deliver current and interesting content to you?

Ironically (or indecently) this morning’s newsletter was about accidentally breaking my site without anyone noticing. Well, this evening I accidentally deleted the site’s entire database so I think you might notice. Currently trying to restore from backup. #IndieWeb
Cool to see hints that Tumblr is continuing with the WordPress backend transition. TechCrunch:
Automattic confirmed to TechCrunch that when the migration is complete, every Tumblr user will be able to federate their blog via ActivityPub, just as every WordPress.com user can today.
Given the long tail of ActivityPub and the simultaneous rise of Bluesky, which is connected to the ActivityPub network via Bridgy Fed, the future of the open social web is very bright.
Now I wonder if Automattic pulling folks from WordPress core has actually made more time for Tumblr.
Wrapped up coding on a couple new fediverse settings that will ship in Micro.blog tomorrow. I’ll have a full blog post about it. There wouldn’t be much point in having our own ActivityPub implementation if we didn’t do things a little differently than Mastodon. See also: IndieWeb monoculture.

📝 New #blost post!
I went on a bit of a writing bend last night and this is post 2 out of 3 of the ones I wrote. Explaining a bit about why I'm writing on Bear Blog now instead of my 11ty custom site.

I have a new post on my experimental journal and on how it's going, implemented, and may change. I may also have noted a way to get digital bird stickers.

@nathanu Folks I know with #eleventy use more lightweight Micropub https://indieweb.org/Micropub clients which--as I understand it--are meant to remove the overhead part of this. Now, your build process must properly respond and take in that post, but when I've seen folks demo their posting process in #IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club Zooms it doesn't seem so brutal. Sorry for the not-totally-informed reply, but could be worth investigating Micropub.
Why Blog If Nobody Reads It?

While I love Eleventy, the ergonomics of SSGs are brutal. I'd love to build a "now playing" section on my website where I list a song I'm listening to, or "now burning" for what incense I have going, but the idea of opening my IDE, writing front matter, building, and uploading my site for that seems so silly. I don't use netlify and I can't figure out how to set up CI on my Yunohost Server. There's got to be a simple, local, CMS solution, right? #11ty #eleventy #webdev #indieweb

Make Your Own Website
https://web.pixelshannon.com/make
This guide is intended to help beginners make their first website with HTML/CSS.
I originally wrote it for my daughter, then 12 years old, so she could make a website for a school project. I think it is now complete-enough for anyone to follow to get started making a personal or hobby site.
Let me know what you think!
