Next 6pm Eastern US time #Indieweb Homebrew Website Club will be on Wednesday. https://events.indieweb.org/2026/01/homebrew-website-club-eastern-gzQxUYO9GCB8 All are welcome to come commiserate and exult in the websites and web-like things.

Some will consider it pathetic, but 16 scifi books in 15 months represents an intense period of reading for me, more stressful than I would like to admit.

My write-up represents a new start to my online presence, and is my introduction to the Indieweb (please be gentle), and the blog will develop out from this.

I'm looking for any feedback - good or bad - on a website I've put together to serve as a doorway to the small web for anyone who feels a bit trapped by infinite scroll. Social media has evolved, but bookmarks have kind of stayed the same. Hopefully this will close that gap for some, by helping people stay connected with their favourite self-hosted creators.

Host your own webmention receiver | Brain Baking

"Yesterday’s “Webmentions Beyond Webmention.io” IndieWeb event (see notes) exposed a problem: many bloggers exploring the IndieWeb and Webmention world simply make use of webmention.io, a hosted solution that handles receiving mentions, enabling you to treat the whole system as a black box. Aaron wondered: “why are so many people using webmention.io?” - and the answer is quite obvious: because it’s easy. Just add <link rel="webmention href="https://webmention.io/something"> to your HTML header..."

Various ways to include comments on your static site

"Static site generators like Eleventy, Jekyll or Hugo have become a popular choice for a blogging platform or a CMS. When using something like WordPress or Medium, you get a comment section out of the box. It isn't as straightforward in a static environment. In this article, I'll summarize different options to provide your audience with a way to leave a comment."

Finally getting around to giving a hard glare at that Disqus widget at the bottom of all my blog posts. Subsequently, I've fallen down a rabbit hole of Webmentions info and newer self-hosted comment systems for static blogs that I've been meaning to check out for a long time. #webdev #indieweb #metablogging

A Quick Guide to Everything I Know about Webmentions

"Webmentions are great! They're a way that personal websites can interact with each other — you can notify another site when you link to them, and receive notifications when someone links to you. I find them to allow for some of the nicer parts of social interaction on the web, but with much more agency and much less inflammatory or harmful material than something like Facebook or Instagram. However, then can also be a bit intimidating, especially for non-developers."
