New blog post: “Embedding Bandcamp Tracks”
https://blog.kizu.dev/embedding-bandcamp-tracks/
A long time ago, back in LiveJournal, sometimes people embedded various music players in their posts. It was fun! I already had a “Current music” field added to most of my blog’s posts, but now I also added a way to enrich this field by adding an optional Bandcamp track reference, and spent my evening updating existing posts in the blog to have it.

I appreciate that part of the #indieWeb is “running away” from the corporate controlled web in #GeminiSpace, and there are some very interesting idea being developed around there. There's something to be said about not wanting to share your environment with the poison that a large part of the web has become, but at the same time, there's also something to be said about throwing away the baby with the bathwater. The problem with the web isn't technical, it's social. The tech itself is fine.

🧡Do you browse fedi and want to get something on your frontend fixed? Perhaps a website redesign, upkeep, maintained? Adding new features?
Are you willing to give me a chance? I promise I'm not a hallucinating AI model and for whatever you decide to pay me will not go towards datacenter maintenance but towards a great user experience for the users of your service/website or page?
My DM's are always open. I'm fully open to working in whatever timezone remotely. You will love my attention to accessibility and user-first UX.

Looking for some examples of media logs on personal websites? Think a fire hose of all the shows, movies, music watched/listened to in a long ass list with pagination or something. Hit me up.

Great #indieweb sessions at #btconf #Berlin!
Yesterday, Sacha Judd (@sachajudd.com) reminded us to “teach someone …. something about building for the web”, and to “take back control of your feeds, your attention, and … go exploring again”. She encouraged us to “build healthy online neighborhoods”. That’s a great metaphor and very complementary to rebuilding your own home(page) on the web with perhaps a digital garden as well!
Today, Ana Rodrigues (@anarodrigu.es @ohhelloana.blog) connected the dots from Sacha’s reminders to encouraging everyone to join burgeoning healthy online neighborhoods like:
* 32-Bit Cafe (@32bit.cafe and see their Discord & Discourse)
* IndieWeb Community (@indieweb.org and see @chat.indieweb.org for Discord, IRC, Slack)
Both are filled with online neighbors helping and teaching each other how to make what people want to express on and for their personal sites!
Know of other healthy online neighborhoods? Let me know and I’ll add them to the IndieWeb communities page!
Want to connect your online home with online neighbors?
* Join the IndieWeb #webring: https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Webring
Prefer events? Join a virtual Frontend Study Hall, Homebrew Website Club meetup, or the next #IndieWebCamp!

Hi #IndieWeb friends, I have a question if you use #RSS feeds for reading/exploration.
What's your thoughts on feeds that have the entire post in the feed versus having a truncated version?

I've added #syndication to my #bookblog 😃 It uses h-review #microformat, #microformat2 (yeah, I know it will likely be replaced by h-entry soon, but it's good for now).
If you have read any of the books I have and are in the #indieweb movement with a microformatted blog of your own, I'd love some interaction!
My blog is at https://khleedril.org/dale-mellor/bookblog.
Please spread the word to other readers you know in the IndieWeb. Thanks.
ps. There is also an RSS feed on the blog, if that is more use to you.

Great #indieweb sessions at #btconf #Berlin!
Yesterday, Sacha Judd (@sachajudd.com) reminded us to “teach someone …. something about building for the web”, and to “take back control of your feeds, your attention, and … go exploring again”. She encouraged us to “build healthy online neighborhoods”. That’s a great metaphor and very complementary to rebuilding your own home(page) on the web with perhaps a digital garden as well!
Today, Ana Rodrigues (@anarodrigu.es @ohhelloana.blog) connected the dots from Sacha’s reminders to encouraging everyone to join burgeoning healthy online neighborhoods like:
* 32-Bit Cafe (@32bit.cafe and see their Discord & Discourse)
* IndieWeb Community (@indieweb.org and see @chat.indieweb.org for Discord, IRC, Slack)
Both are filled with online neighbors helping and teaching each other how to make what people want to express on and for their personal sites!
Know of other healthy online neighborhoods? Let me know and I’ll add them to the IndieWeb communities page!
Want to connect your online home with online neighbors?
* Join the IndieWeb #webring: https://indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Webring
Prefer events? Join a virtual Frontend Study Hall, Homebrew Website Club meetup, or the next #IndieWebCamp!
