Wrote about how difficult it is to find time with myself and writing. I rambled a bit... but love how my thoughts flow with my new pen. šŸ˜

thank you #kiki users for your gracious patience over the past few months šŸ™

kiki v1.1.0 is now available on itch. it includes many new requested features, including preliminary support for the gopher protocol.

if you haven't heard of kiki before: it's a tiny home page construction set written to be fast and easy to modify. it's my response to 20 years of dealing with the bloated, frustrating, and exhausting world of wordpress and other heavyweight CMSes.

if you're into writing things with just a text editor, then uploading your document over ftp - then kiki is for you.

(conversely, if you're into dragging and dropping widgets in a massive javascript interface - kiki is *not* for you šŸ˜†)

truth be told, gopher support may or may not survive the year. it's an absolutely gnarly protocol that barely deserves to be called one - there are SO many different implementations and revisions. i tried to implement only what made sense to me, and it's basic at best.

There will be some snacks šŸŖ 🧃

@xandra thinking about this and some of the comments and places they lead, I've been reading about #IndieWeb. I well remember dial up and how the #worldWideWeb seemed so exciting, so domain acquired cutlerweb is in the making. Nothing to see yet, give me a year or two hehe.

Want to share your HTML creations and HTML Day inspired art with the Philly community? We'd be happy to collect any contributions to showcase back on the site :) If you end up making a html page during or after the event, or just think your art would vibe deeply with Philly grit regardless of whether you're from Philly, send it our way. Just keep in mind that we're limited in the file sizes we can work with, so we might also talk about image compression etc. before posting. For inspiration on what to make with HTML, you can check out the past #SundaySites prompts and submit to their collection too.

@ragman and I will be hosting HTML Day in Philadelphia! It's going to be a bit of an improv so you'll help shape what happens :)

Come hang out and write some HTML with us. Art supplies to share would be appreciated. Feel free to turn this into an impromptu distro of masks, zines, or anything else you have to share.

Can't make it in person? Check out the online event https://lunaseeker.com/events/htmlday25

The web should be easy -

At least that's what I think.

I've been messing around with Jekyll hosting this past month and I finally have something to show for it.

Essentially, I wanted a way to host Jekyll (and hopefully other static web frameworks) on something other than the Microsoft owned GitHub.

It turns out that by linking together some open source software it's relatively easy to put together something workable. Also, HTML has come a long way since I started doing this. So much stuff just works out of the box now, so I don't even need a complicated back end.

#IndieWeb is a community of people who want to build their home in the web separate from large corporations.

In the IndieWeb wiki, there are 11 principles the community has come up with and I wrote about them and how they relate to my approach to the personal web.

July Meetup: Unlocking the Power of Federated Networks with WordPress



Do you know what the ā€œFediverseā€ is? Are you in it? Using theĀ ActivityPubĀ plugin (GitHub), any WordPress site (or user) can be federated and act as a client or server in relation to otherĀ ActivityPubĀ users and platforms, likeĀ mstdn.caĀ (a Mastodon instance) and edmontonian.social (a Misskey instance) because they all implement the ActivityPub standard for a decentralized social web.


Tomorrow at our July meetup, come learn aboutĀ ActivityPub, Federated networks, and WordPress with […]

An IndieWeb meme, quoted from Tantek in the #indieweb-meta chat.

Just a friendly reminder that we don’t have to rank different levels of independence and there’s no One Way to Be Indieā„¢. There are always tradeoffs with the web, but hopefully we are moving towards more individual control of the things we create. I think the IndieWeb community does a good job embodying that in the principles.
