Webmentions: A short explanation



An explanation of what webmentions are and how they work. A failed attempt at making it not too technical?

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPHP Vol. 53: "Shawn's Web Site" https://atomicbios.tripod.com/

My latest monthly rewind is up! https://stephvee.ca/blog/rewinds/rewind-nov-2025/ I wasn't able to add as much to my site this month as I would have liked, but any amount of time spent on the personal web is worth the effort, IMO.

As usual, my monthly rewind focuses on the blog posts I published (just one this month, alas, re: Affinity going freemium), and offers some thoughts on the books I read and interesting websites I visited.

A conversation I am having with @joel@fosstodon.org (uh, you may not know about it yet 😉) sparked a blog post about what holds me back from short form journaling.

If i were writing some html that would call the users mobile camera, and render that view in the page what’s the best mechanism to do that with?

My website rewrite is making progress! Just a bit of refactoring and CSS and my homepage will be ready again.

Before using it in production, I still have to migrate the blog and the pages.

The link tags for IndieAuth and Webmentions are missing too.

Hey fedi! I known you like reading #indieweb blogs. Nowadays a lot of it is written with AI or has AI generated images.
Do you want me to creat a Ublock origin blocklist for it?
I'll put it on codeberg.

I love how unique @david_bardos's site is and now it has some snowfall for the winter. We had a lovely chat and I've also added some snowfall to my site: https://shom.dev/ with a couple updates (number of snowflakes depend on viewport width, snowflakes fade in stages as they fall, and snowflakes don't present themselves to screen readers).

Keep the web personal and weird and have some fun with CSS!? Sign me up!

New blog post: “Build Bridges”.

https://blog.kizu.dev/build-bridges/

This is a very quick shout-out to the Bridgy Fed project by @snarfed.org.

If you know people who are only present on one of the networks and are not bridging their accounts — nudge them to do so!

#IndieWeb #BlueSky #Fediverse

Would you financially support a new effort (of mine) to build and maintain a database of metadata and descriptive statistics about the #Fediverse and other #SocialWeb, #Indieweb, #smallweb, and #p2p networks?
I would serve high-level interfaces to a database of metadata resulting from ongoing automated crawls.
Key goals would include • comprehension of the current state of networks, and • navigation of the breadth of networks based on topic, identity, and technical necessity for ad-hoc needs.
